The City of Amsterdam wants to make material flows circular. But what numbers and types of materials are we actually talking about? And what impact do they have on the environment and our society?
This Friday, among others, the City of Amsterdam's Deputy Mayor Marieke van Doorninck and Rene Koop, program manager for circular economy at the City of Amsterdam, will present the first version of the Monitor Amsterdam Circular.
The monitor - created in cooperation with CBS, geoFluxus and TNO - visualizes how all kinds of material flows move through the Amsterdam region. From import and production to consumption, recycling and loss.
“Thanks to the Monitor Amsterdam Circulair, we know increasingly better how much material is circulating in our city and what the ecological and social impact of this is, both locally and globally. The insights we gain now and in the future will enable governments, businesses and citizens to make even better choices in the interests of the circular economy.”
Curious how the monitor works? Why it is an important asset for our city? And how your organization or department can contribute? Sign up for the online event coming Friday, February 11 between 10.00 and 12.00 from the studio in CIRCL.
