To the Point

• There is increasing research and discussion about circularity and the circular economy. However, global implementation is declining. 
• At the municipal level, there are various approaches to implement a circular economy: from Circular to Zero Waste to Fab Cities.
• The differences among the three approaches lie in their spatial distribution, goals, admission criteria, and monitoring.
• While Circular Cities and Zero Waste Cities already have binding monitoring approaches in place, these are still lacking for Fab Cities.
• The ERDF project "FAB.Region Bergisches Städtedreieck" is driving transformation processes to
  wards a co-creative, sustainable circular economy as Germany’s first Fab Region.
