Approach

» C2CN based on ‘Limburg PrinciplesLimburg Principles’» We are native to our place » Our waste is our food » The sun is our income » Our air, soil and water are healthy » We design enjoyment for all generations » We provide enjoyable mobility for all

» Framework will make this more tangible, provide guidance on interpretation

Key Issues

» How we use these principles in relation to the target areas? What is the practical implication for the target areas?

» What are success and failure factors? How can we activate them in a different context? How to make good practices transferable to other regions?

» We look at C2C as a general principle and from a wide eco-effectiveness context, and thus broader than the certification procedure.

» Common vocabulary and framework to present C2C as a basis for sustainable materials management in Europe
