Circular transition
Amsterdam’s circular strategy shifts from a take-make-dispose model to a regenerative system, keeping resources in use, minimising waste, and restoring natural systems. It’s not just an environmental initiative, but a driver of urban resilience, job creation, and economic competitiveness, positioning the city as a global leader in sustainable urban innovation.
