Circular Groningen (Council Initiative):ü Unique unanimous initiativeü Develop action frameworkü Look at the existing procurementsü Join knowledge networks
Groningen: a council initiative
• Check-up survey on knowledge and interest for circular economy 2015:– 83% of respondents they were interested or perhaps
interested in a pilot project collaboration on circular economy.
• Feasibility study on circular economy 2016:– Transport and logistics, access to raw materials, public
procurement, waste management, technology industries and forestry.
– Building knowledge and funding support are the greatest priorities for the transition to circular business models.
• Strategic plan 2016-2028 – The municipality as a pioneer in circular economy
Umeå: towards circular economy
à City of science and culture• Using city as living lab• Innovative public procurement• Circular food production, distribution and management• linking smart city activities to the circular economy
Granada: from the bio-factory to the circular economy

The role of cities
• Develop a CE strategy
• Map CE initiatives• Co-ordinate with
regional and provincial strategies
• Competition ideas
• Creating space (off line and on line) for exchanges of practices
• Launching customer
• Single-Window for the circular economy for businesses
• Information system
• Education and capacity building
• Gaps and ways forward on how to adapt laws and regulations
Unlocking the potential for the circular economy in cities and regions
1. Measuring
2. Learning
3. Sharing
