Title: Transition Agendas for Circular Economy

Country: Netherlands

Bio-based sector: Plastics, biomass, construction

Involved actors: Government, private sector, NGOs

Description:

Transition Agendas are detailed roadmaps created for five key sectors: Plastics, Consumer Goods, Manufacturing, Building & Construction, and Biomass and Food. They aim to accelerate the adoption of circular economy practices tailored to the unique needs of each sector. By emphasizing collaboration between government bodies, private industries, and NGOs, the agendas provide a platform for co-creation and alignment. These roadmaps outline actionable steps, including fostering innovation in bio-based materials, reducing waste generation, and enhancing product design for recyclability. Their flexible approach has proven instrumental in addressing sector-specific challenges while aligning with national goals.

Results / lessons learnt: The implementation of Transition Agendas has led to significant improvements in resource efficiency, stronger stakeholder engagement, and a growing understanding of circularity's economic and environmental benefits.
