What is the Circular Economy Action plan? What is its ultimate goal? What sectors does it focus on? What is a circular city? What is the role of cities to transition from a linear to a circular economy? How is CityLoops contributing to a more circular Europe? These are some of the questions the new CityLoops video tries to answer.

Funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, CityLoops is one of a series of initiatives demonstrating how cities can become centres of circular innovation. The cities of Apeldoorn, Bodø, Høje-Taastrup, Mikkeli, Porto, Roskilde and Seville are developing and testing a series of processes and tools to tackle biowaste and construction and demolition waste.

CityLoops understands the circular city as one that promotes the transition from a linear to a circular economy and does it in a holistic way, by integrating all actors - from citizens, to business and the research community.
