C-City: a circular city

C-City envisaged a sustainable circular economy strategy to transform key supply chains in Genoa (IT). The approach was based on three principles:  Eco-design to redesign products, processes, services and business models in a circular way. Extending the life of goods and services, as much as possible. Reuse and upscaling, with a local Reuse Centre focusing on waste from electrical and electronic equipment, textiles and furniture, with the help of science and citizen participation.  The main tools to implement the actions are the Circular Hub, the Circular Desk, and a platform on the blue and green economy, to increase awareness and participatory dialogue between the municipality and multiple stakeholders.
