CityLoops
We promote the circularity of biowaste in the city of Porto.
CityLoops is a project funded by the European Union, with a focus on organic, and construction and demolition waste. Seven European cities are involved in this project: Høje-Taastrup and Roskilde (Denmark), Mikkeli (Finland), Apeldoorn (The Netherlands), Bodø (Norway), Porto (Portugal) and Seville (Spain).
These cities will pilot and promote a series of demonstration actions and activities which involve Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) and organic waste (OW) with the aim of making these materials circular. Over 30 new tools and procedures will be tested as part of the CityLoops project, involving 28 partners.
