Portfolio of circular and sharing economy best practices for small and medium-sized cities

This report identifies and presents a portfolio of over 20 circular and sharing economy practices successfully implemented in diverse urban contexts. The list provides some examples deriving from an extensive literature review to be reported in a forthcoming scientific publication. The 20 examples highlight practical and adaptable models for integrating circular economy principles into different sectors relevant for the urban metabolism of the CiRLabs involved in the ECLECTIC project. By identifying these practices, the report is a practical resource for local decision-makers and stakeholders, offering insights and inspiration to drive circular transformation across sectors in cities of varying sizes and needs.

Abstract

This report identifies and presents a portfolio of over 20 circular and sharing economy practices successfully implemented in diverse urban contexts. The list provides some examples deriving from an extensive literature review to be reported in a forthcoming scientific publication. The 20 examples highlight practical and adaptable models for integrating circular economy principles into different sectors relevant for the urban metabolism of the CiRLabs involved in the ECLECTIC project. By identifying these practices, the report is a practical resource for local decision-makers and stakeholders, offering insights and inspiration to drive circular transformation across sectors in cities of varying sizes and needs.
