This report, Amsterdam Circular: Evaluation and action perspectives, presents a consolidation of insights from the practical implementation of 70+ circular projects in the circular City of Amsterdam and is validated by more than 100 local businesses. It evaluates eight key municipal instruments and analyses the progress of the circular economy in five value chains of the national Transition Agenda, including construction, consumer goods, and biomass. From these detailed insights, five key actions perspectives were created to continue the city’s momentum towards becoming a fully circular city.
The is report was launched in tandem with the Municipal policy for the circular economy: Lessons learned from Amsterdam digest, marking the second chapter in a three-part series that aims to break down three of the key questions that cities face when transitioning towards a circular economy.
