• Check-up survey on knowledge and interest for circular economy 2015:– 83% of respondents they were interested or perhaps

interested in a pilot project collaboration on circular economy.

• Feasibility study on circular economy 2016:– Transport and logistics, access to raw materials, public

procurement, waste management, technology industries and forestry.

– Building knowledge and funding support are the greatest priorities for the transition to circular business models.

• Strategic plan 2016-2028 – The municipality as a pioneer in circular economy
