Rotterdam to become a fully circular city by 2050
Rotterdam, a city known for its dynamism, contemporary architecture and for being one of the largest ports in the world, has strong ambitions when it comes to the circular economy. The municipality wants circularity to be the city’s benchmark and aims to halve the use of fossil raw materials by 2030, and become a fully circular city by 2050.
Unleash opportunities of the region South Holland
The circularity ambition cannot be reached alone. That’s why the Municipality of Rotterdam is looking to create a wide ecosystem of companies, corporations and knowledge institutes in the city to forge new alliances with each other and jointly start circular projects. For entrepreneurs and pioneering companies working on circular initiatives, Rotterdam is the perfect place to test and scale solutions through collaborations.
Global innovators test and scale solutions
There are already many initiatives and hubs around circularity in Rotterdam, including incubators such as BlueCity, PlantOne, and RDM. Now the challenge is to scale up these initial successes and ensure that circularity establishes as the norm. The key to creating a circular city is collaboration!
