Circular economy in France : The role of national government
• Environmental Conference, October 2013 : a major objective : to reconcile an economic and social development of territories with an effective management of the ressources.
• Implementation conference for circular economy December 2013
Overview of circular economy in France: a voluntary policy
• The professional commitments : in particular within the framework of the “Comité Stratégiques de filières” (CSF) = Strategic committees on particular fields, introduced by the National Council of the Industry
• The development by the regions of regional strategies of the circular economy : specific mobilization in Aquitaine, Bretagne, Rhone Alpes, Ile de France.
To establish plans of actions: Two frameworks of actions emerged:
• To assure a better coherence on a national scale for local dynamics.
• The regions have the necessary skills to activate the different levers
The need to identify a strategic actor : The regions
A guidebook - to give key notions to understand- to give methods to swing into action
Some elements :
• inspired & tailor-made

What IT IS : A support for reflexionGuidelines for action
What IT IS NOT : A ready-to-use strategyA ready-to-think circular economy
What is the Institute of circular economy in France ?
• The first national French multi-stakeholders organization which aims at accelerating the transition towards circular economy.
• An innovative think tank
• 200 members including :- economic decision-makers- local authorities- political and academic personalities. - NGOs
The build up towards establishing the Institute
• Our President, François Michel Lambert: a parliamentary from the Bouches du Rhône
• Our founding members:
The « Pole of Eco-Industries » from Poitou-Charentes.

Title IV : Fight again waste and promote the circulareconomy : from designing to recycling
The aim to make the transition towards a circular economy
Definitions :- Circular economy- Industrial symbiosis- Planned obsolescence and penalisation of planned
obsolescence
What’s inside ?
• Towards a national strategy : with a plan of identification and programming of the strategic ressources
• Non binding, but of incentive and mobilization, it will precise the role of the different actors : skills of regions, mobilization of metropoles
To give a framework and impulse action
A significant step : the national strategy for a transition towards circular economy :
• Setting the national strategy was our first goal, it will permit to access the second step :
• Getting out of pilot projects and experimentation to engage the levers of massification permitted by the concrete implication of the national government : fiscal measures, public procurement, etc.
Our ambitions
• Not a complete overview of circular economy• A lack of visibility for the completed actions• Still opposition between sectors and territories• Variable commitments from the stakeholders
Circular economy in France is a preoccupation but still in a dispersed order :
How the national government can stimulate the circular economy ?
• A french particularity : the mobilization of the actors, and especially the society.
The role of the government is: - to help creating synergies amongst all these diverse
intiatives - to amplify the dynamics.
How ?Lessons learned
• The government has to embody a strong and clear vision on circular economy : Ideally through a national strategy for circular economy, as it was made in several countries (Japan, Germany, etc). It sets targets and engage dynamics.
• Precises the role of stakeholders and specifically at the territorial level : regions and metropoles.
• Set up levers and remove barriers, through incitative but no punitive approach.
• To develop new forms of public / private partnership
Why cities are important ?
• The main actor in France are the regions• The dynamic of cities in France is only starting, however they have an
essentiel role :- 70% of the emissions of CO2- 70% of transports- 70% of adaptation measures to climate change will be made in cities
according to the UNEP
Start made in the metropole, especially Paris, a strategy of circular economy was launched in march 2015.
