Circular North-Holland

The Dutch province North-Holland has chosen for the circular economy. By applying smart strategies to reuse resources within company conglomerates, the demand for virgin resources will decrease, energy savings will be achieved and jobs will be created. North-Holland wants to transition towards a circular economy to prepare the province for a sustainable future while at the same time create a healthy economic and liveable climate. To make this ambitious transition a reality, the province has asked the social enterprise Circle Economy to visualise the opportunities within North-Holland through a regional scan. Circle Economy has been able to identify 58 practical circular opportunities that are illustrated through tangible examples.
