Government and policy
Institutions, governments and cities play a crucial role in creating and enabling conditions for a circular economy to emerge and thrive. They set direction and they are drivers of innovation and investment.
The circular economy provides a framework which allows governments and cities to realise many of their economic, environmental, and societal ambitions.

Regional programme for a circular economy
The Brussels Regional Programme for a Circular Economy (BRCPE), commonly referred to as Be Circular, is Brussels’ central circular economy initiative from which all other circular economy activities emanate. It is designed to harness the opportunities presented by a circular economy, including reconciling economic and environmental objectives, supporting local production, optimising land use and integrating transportation requirements. Key drivers were the desire to stimulate innovative economic activity, create new jobs, and improve the quality of life for Brussels’ citizens.
