Circular Economy workshops March 2023
Three online stakeholder workshops were carried out in March 2023 in partnership with Zero Waste Scotland, to review and work on the city-wide approach to a circular economy, as part of the Net Zero Aberdeen Routemap and Circular Economy Strategy.
The purpose of the three workshops was:
- To understand the circular economy, its benefits, and the important role of cities in driving transition
- To understand the strategic context within Aberdeen (linking to the Net Zero Aberdeen Routemap and Circular Economy Strategy)
- To identify opportunities to integrate circular economy into existing projects and programmes of work
- To identify opportunities for new circular economy projects and programmes
- To prioritise actions and projects to take forward.
