Sander Lubberhuizen works at the municipality of Apeldoorn in the Netherlands on various European Circular Projects (biomass and construction and demolition waste). He is also head of the Energy Point where they show inhabitants the world of energy transition.
In the Netherlands, we have agreed that we will be 50% circular in 9 years' time. By 2050, we must be 100% circular. It has been calculated that we are now at 24.5% in the Netherlands. Globally we are at 8.6% (side note: 2 years ago, it was 9.1%!). So basically, we're standing still! So, urgency is necessary, the clock is ticking people!
Here is Sander's experience in seven tips in the field of circular working within local governments. With these tips, you can get started yourself to make the difference you need.
