Learn to become a more circular city

Is your city or region looking to build the foundations for circularity, to transform your construction and demolition waste stream into a circular flow of materials, or looking to valorise and reuse your biowaste at a high value? Then don’t miss the chance to learn how to meet your goals from Apeldoorn (The Netherlands), Bodø (Norway), Mikkeli (Finland), Porto (Portugal), Seville (Spain), Høje-Taastrup and Roskilde (Denmark).

These seven European cities are working together in the context of the CityLoops project – in which ICLEI Europe is a partner – to 'close the loop' in two of the most important waste streams in Europe: Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW), and Biowaste. The cities will implement ten demonstration actions and test over 30 new tools and processes. Their ultimate aim is to become circular cities in which no resource goes to waste, driving the transition to the circular economy.

Cities and regions can now apply to join this project as a replicator city. As a replicator city, you will have the opportunity to follow the pilot acitons and benefit from funded study visits, direct exchange with the cities in the project, and tailored peer-to-peer workshops, helping you to implement similar actions in your city.

You can find the application form by clicking here. The application deadline is 16 March 2021.
