March 19–25: Circular Economy Week
Looking for inspiration on sustainable and circular living? From March 19 to 25, it’s Circular Economy Week. Around this time, you can see at various locations in the municipality how practical, inspiring, and valuable circular thinking and action can be.
Get inspired
Dick Polman, Alderman for Sustainability: ‘During this national action week, residents, social organizations, entrepreneurs, and government will show how to use raw materials, products, and residual streams more wisely. These three themes are important for our national waste reduction goals. That’s also one of the reasons why a circular crafts center will soon be established in our municipality. Next week, you can already get inspired.’
