Cities around Europe are piloting and implementing solutions to become more circular. Plastic, construction and bio-waste are three of the waste streams cities are seeking to reduce or reuse due to their environmental impact and socio-economic value. Which levers do cities have to effectively close these materials loops?

In this session, we will hear the experience of three cities that have got down to the job. What have they done? What did they learn? Can their solutions be replicated elsewhere? The audience will be invited to challenge their approach.
