Cities and regions represent a key enabling environment for the circular economy. This Circle Region Scan is designed to reveal where opportunities lie for the circular economy in the Kongsvinger region (Norway), especially within the scope of the built environment value chain, a key area for regional development.
The Scan encompasses four sequential phases which form a guided process to develop and select the best circular economy strategies for the Kongsvinger region built environment value chain.
Report phase 1 & 2 - Published June 2020
This first report presents the methodology, results and conclusions of Phase 1 (socio-economic analysis) and Phase 2 (material flow and build stock analysis) of the Circle Region Scan of the Kongsvinger region. This analysis was the basis on which in the next phases practical and scalable pilot projects at a regional scale were developed.
Report phase 3 & 4 - Published December 2020
This second report sets the ground for the region's built environment transition towards a circular economy. The document outlines the action plans that can support local and national stakeholders to implement the circular pilot projects defined through phases 3 (circular strategies) and 4 (action plans).
