Municipalities and cities have an important role in circular economy: examples from the roadmapCity of Lahti’s goal: has set a goal that one third of its procurements will contain new solutions based on the circular economy and resource efficiency by 2020.
GOOD CHALLENGE FOR ALL FINNISH MUNICIPALITIES AND CITIES
Other city/municipality examples from the roadmap:
Zerowaste area (Turku)
More effective collection and useof municipal biowaste
Technical departments of municipalities enablers of circular economy
Biogas in transportation (Keski-Suomi)
MaaS & sustainable transportation(e.g capital region, Hämeenlinna, Tampere, Turku, Kuopio, Savonlinna, Seinäjoki, Lappeenranta)
Yhteinen pöytä (Shared table)–model scaling(Vantaa & others)
Industrial symbiosis (Nokia, Porvoo)

• Minister Kimmo Tiilikainen and board professional Kirsi Sormunen as the chairmen of steering group.• Key persons of focus areas to be
named – their role is to support actors and their networking.• Sitra is ready to speed up the
implementation of roadmap’s actions. • Different actors are challenged
for complementary actions!
How we move forward from here?
