Cities should prepare a list of its initiatives and actions that promote circularity. Some of these initiatives
and actions may be formulated based on the assessment using the circularity KPIs. It may also include
other projects based on the city’s overall approach to implementing circularity (e.g. pilot projects). In

Multiple initiatives and actions can be implemented at the same time to achieve circularity targets.
