The project aims to support Türkiye’s transition to a circular economy. To this end, the National Circular Economy Strategy and Action Plan will be implemented in six key sectors. The aim is to scale up resource efficiency, integrated waste management and circular economy business models (e.g. industrial symbiosis, secondary raw materials, alternative fuels).

Results Achieved / Expected Outputs

Türkiye will be better equipped for the transition to a circular economy. The expected outputs are as follows.

Expected Outputs

03 Implementation of these roadmaps in six pilot cities and establishment of local cooperation mechanisms with municipalities (repair workshops, second-hand shops, etc.).
04 Establishment of a monitoring database to track circular economy requirements in key sectors.
05 Revision of the National Circular Economy Strategy and Action Plan based on the results of the pilot implementation.
