Each case study within the CIRCTER project looks into an initiative that have been implemented to move towards a circular economy and with that tries to identify how circular economy works in real conditions and how regional factors can unlock the circular economy potential and contribute to territorial development. The Region of Brussels Capital is a front runner city in the implementation of a circular economy strategy. The measures taken in relation to the Brussels Circular economy strategy (2018) have set a good basis for creating an ecosystem that fosters a transition to a more circular economy in the fields targeted by the strategy: construction, logistics, waste, and retail. Some challenges identified are still to be addressed.
