How can cities go circular?

The circular economy is not just about recycling. It’s an opportunity to rethink entire systems in our cities.

Cities are growing, fast. And if we’re not careful, they’ll deplete resources faster than we can replenish them.

Going circular means going beyond waste management to work across all sectors:
🔄 Rethinking products (e.g. to optimize for longevity)
🔄 Reducing consumption
🔄 Reusing materials across industries (construction, mobility, food, energy)

Most of all, procurement is a powerful tool for cities to boost the adoption of circularity by local businesses.
