Circular Flanders—the main organisational body for the Flemish circular economy—has launched a strategy for making strides in three areas: the circular city, circular business strategies and circular purchasing. Circular Flanders aims to work with partners on projects in these areas, giving guidance and support. The research highlights that circular businesses could contribute as much as 6 billion euros to the Flemish economy annually, as well as increase competitiveness and create up to 27,000 new jobs. Additionally, throughout the statement, a strong focus is placed on collaborative effort, and the organisation aims to support the circular initiatives of entrepreneurs, citizens, civil society organisations and local administrations.
