In 2015, Amsterdam commissioned an in-depth study on the potential of a circular economy.

Birmingham is Britain’s youngest and fastest growing city having also the strongest economy outside the capital and being one of the first cities to adopt a proactive industrial symbiosis approach to develop a medium and long-term strategy for sustainable economic development.
