The CityLoops project was a Horizon 2020 project which ran from 2019 to 2023. It focused on circular economy solutions for bio-waste and construction and demolition waste (CDW).

CityLoops sought to contribute to the further implementation of the circular bio-economy across Europe. Nevertheless, shifting away from the linear economy presents several challenges. The purpose of this handbook is to illuminate the path forward, offering a comprehensive view of the challenges at hand, as well as practical recommendations for enhancing the circular management of bio-waste.

The handbook is intended for a diverse audience of local government practitioners, including waste managers, urban planners, environmental protection officers, procurers and politicians seeking a deeper understanding of the subject. It is divided into two main sections. The first section focuses on how to implement circularity, while the second centres on enabling circularity, with a specific emphasis on bio-waste and biological cycles.
