Leuven has a circular economy strategy which has been developed within the framework of its urban circular strategy platform “Platform Leuven Circular”. Leuven Circular is the steering group of the platform and comprises representatives from across the city’s main stakeholder groups. The circular economy strategy is built around 5 strategic objectives including circular entrepreneurship, sustainable and circular consumption and policy work. For each objective, targets and actions are set out, defined in close collaboration with key stakeholders within the Platform Leuven Circular. As a city, Leuven attributes much of its success to the power of collaboration, acknowledging that government, academia, industry and civil society cannot be separated. Leuven 2030, is a city-wide network working towards climate-neutrality through projects such as its Roadmap to achieve carbon neutrality.
