Action leader(s)

1) Government of Flanders; 2) Flemish Public Waste Agency (OVAM)

Summary

Circular Flanders is the result of the merger of Plan C, the Flanders’ Materials Programme and SuMMa. The Government of Flanders has set the circular economy as one of the seven transition priorities in its transversal policy paper, “Vision 2050, a long-term strategy for Flanders” and appointed Circular Flanders to continue the circular economy as a transition priority. Circular Flanders is embedded in OVAM, the motor for the transition to a circular economy.
