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).

This policy brief proposes 12 recommendations targeting EU and national policy makers and addressing barriers faced in the implementation of CityLoops Demonstration Actions, with a view to accelerating the circular transition of cities. It includes general recommendations, addressing cross-cutting and structural issues observed during the project, sector-specific recommendations to enable circularity in both the construction and demolition waste and bio-waste streams, as well as procurement-related recommendations to empower local governments and public procurers.
