Resourceful Cities is an @URBACT Action Planning Network of 10 European cities developing next generation Urban Resource Centres for the #circulareconomy.
To finalize the project and look into the future circular economy, all our participating cities have created localized Integrated Action Plans (IAPs).
Curious what their circular plans are? You can find them on our webpage: urbact.eu/resourceful-cities@URBACT#CircularEconomy

How can The Hague become more circular? ♻️
Last friday the #ResourcefulTheHague event invited policymakers, upcyclers, entrepreneurs and more to discuss this topic and inspire each other 💡
For #ResourcefulCities Ger Kwakkel (seen below) held a workshop on #UrbanResourceCentres
After years of work our team is proud to present: Resourceful Cities Circular Transition Stories. A collection of the partner cities’ stories and learnings. Read it here: bit.ly/3mTMYF6
Thank you to everyone that helped creating this.
@URBACT#CircularEconomy,
There is no one-size-fits-all approach on picking a business & governance model for an Urban Resource Centre. But how do you know what model suits yours❓
Let our partner cities inspire you with their chosen models. 💡 bit.ly/3NOLozL#UrbanResourceCentre#Governance

Greenwashing is a huge problem in the process to be more sustainable. @EU_Commission aims to prevent this by creating standards for sustainability.
Do you have an idea of what this should look like? Give your opinion / insight to the EU Commission!
#Greenwashing#Sustainability
The EU is seeking feedback on tackling greenwashing. This is an opportunity to ensure minimum standards for sustainability labels by encouraging an update to the PEF methodology, which is currently incomplete and risks misleading consumers.
Make sure your voice is heard here! 👇

The #IPCCClimateReport shows us clearly: We have to act now‼️
Taking a different approach to waste and resources can lower emissions. Using less primary resources and repairing & refurbishing before recycling prevents the need to manufacture new products.♻️
#RethinkWaste
To support circular economy it is important that people reuse items and mend items that can be repaired. This is also the case for textiles 👚👖
The #EUTextileStrategy is a great step towards a more sustainable way of handling textiles.

Circular economy is more than refubishing and reusing of products. ♻️ It starts when deciding what products you invest your money in💶 or whether you need to buy something new at all. Circular economy is rethinking 'stuff'. 💭
#CircularEconomy#SustainableConsumption
Preventing E-waste 📱💻 is important for circular economy. Software plays an important role in the longevity of mobile phones.
How does this work? And why is there so little software support for slightly older phones?
Join the webinar and find out!
