Circular City - Zirkuläre Stadt

Als gemeinnütziger Verein wollen wir die Stoffströme in Berlin neu gestalten. Wir tragen zur Gestaltung der lokalen Circular Economy Agenda bei, indem wir uns durch Forschung, Aufbau von Netzwerken und Realisierung von umsetzungsorientierten Projekten beteiligen.

Unsere Mission:
Wir sehen Berlin als eine resiliente, bürgerzentrierte Stadtregion. Ressourcen sollten nach Möglichkeit lokal beschafft werden, nur dann eingesetzt werden, wenn sie wirklich benötigt werden und ihr Wert sollte im Rahmen eines kontinuierlichen Kreislaufes innerhalb der Grenzen unseres Planeten aufrechterhalten werden. Abfälle und Umweltverschmutzung gibt es quasi nicht. Das Leben und die Arbeit der Menschen wirken sich positiv auf ihre Nachbarschaften und Gemeinschaften aus.

Circular Berlin is a non-profit accelerating Berlin transition towards a circular city, envisioning it as a resilient, citizen-oriented region. We develop knowledge on the circular economy and apply it through practical projects, community building and education.
