ROADMAP CIRCULAR ECONOMY ROTTERDAM

PROLOGUEHereby we present the Roadmap for a circular economy in Rotterdam. This Roadmap has been developed by the city of Rotterdam in close cooperation with Rebel and its aligned experts together with partners within the city. The roadmap distinguish long term goals and short term opportunities within Rotterdam to create momentum for circular businesses. Part of this approach involves finding and creating mutual energy with potential partners to accelerate this new economic aproach.

In the end the goal of this Roadmap is to inspire and accelerate the circular economy to transform Rotterdam into a resource resillient city, new businesses and more local jobs in the circular economy.

SETTING THE SCENE: THE NEED FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

1a.

The current linear economic model of ‘take, make, dispose’ relies on large quantities of cheap, easily accessible materials and energy. Due to a growing world population with increasing consumption, this leads to scarcity and contributes to climate change. This poses a risk for Europe, as it largely dependent on imports*. Rotterdam has more than 600.000 citizens and is home to Europe’s main cargo port, the city is reliant on importing resources for consumption, production, and trade. Scarcity of resources will effect Rotterdam in the short and long term and the city needs to prepare for a shift from a linear to a circular low carbon economy.

A Circular Economy (CE) is an economy that keeps resources in use for as long as possible, and produces as little waste and pollution as possible.

*Eurostat Comext statistics Europe export 215 Mtons but imports 1274 Mtonsof fuels and mining materials.


SETTING THE SCENE: THE NEED FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

THE BASIC PRINCIPLE OF THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY IS‘To transition the economy towards use and re-use of products and materials, by enhancing performance based business models and supportive design of products and services. ’This translates into*:

Preserve and enhance natural capital, by controlling finite stocks and balancing renewable resource flows.

Optimise resource yields, by circulating products, components, and materials at the highest utility at all times in both technical and biological cycles.

Foster system effectiveness, by revealing and designing out negative externalities.

THE ROTTERDAM REGION HAS FIVE COMPELLING ATTRIBUTES WHICH GIVE IT A HEAD START IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY:

1) Europe’s largest port.

2) Numerous production or transport materials passing through the delta region.

3) Availability of infrastructure and finance.

4) Drive for innovation and open-minded business network.

5) High quality of life attracting well educated people**.

A transition towards a circular economic model is needed. The City of Rotterdam*** aims to take the lead and become resource resilient, including the creation of circular jobs. It sees circular economy as an opportunity to further develop Rotterdam and its region in the near future.

*Sources: Ellen Macarthur Foundation – Re-thinking the Progress, and ARC Circular Business Models IMSA Amsterdam, April 2015.**Pathways to a circular economy, PoR ,Rabobank 2015. ***The roadmap uses the term ‘City’ for the body of civil servants /city council. With ‘Rotterdam’ it means the city in a broader sense, with its citizens, businesses and institutions. ‘Port” stands for the Port of Rotterdam as an organization.

1b.


ROTTERDAM CIRCULAR: THE AIM FOR 2030

Rotterdam is THE European center for biobased* and circular economy - more jobs, zero residual waste, lower costs and increased prosperity for its citizens. Towards 2030 Rotterdam will become resource resilient, it will build, produce, and consume more circularly. The port will be a global hub for (secondary) materials and a circular industrial cluster. This implicates that:

The circular economy will provide the citizens of Rotterdam with more jobs and job opportunities, a higher standard of living, lower costs, and a cleaner more prosperous Rotterdam.

All ‘Rotterdammers’ will benefit from the circular economy and will have easy access to circular services and products.

Public procurement will be based on circular principles and inspire the private sector to adopt attractive circular economy business models.

The economic clusters - Food, Medical, Cleantech/Maritime, and Urban development/Construction** will be the economic pillars in the circular economy of Rotterdam, with other clusters following in their footsteps.

Rotterdam will lead the way for new business models based on circular principles including circular product design.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Residual waste from Rotterdam (household ✔

and SME) is minimized, waste streams are bundled for either re-use or recycled at full potential value.

Consumer goods are shared, maintained, ✔

repaired, reused, and sent to local refurbishment centers.

Local food production is increased through ✔

urban farming Plant/food waste streams are recaptured for re-use e.g. cardboard, soil fertilizer, protein through larvae farming.

Old electronic appliances are refurbished ✔

and leased to companies and consumers.

Buildings are designed to be multifunctional ✔

over their lifespan and built with recycled construction materials.

*A Biobased economy is only circular if the waste streams generated by the biobased products are either part of closed circles or consist of materials that are food and/or biodegradable in the natural environment, including the harbor and the ocean. **Selected clusters as described in the City’s policy ‘Stadontwikkeling in de nieuwe economische realiteit’.

2.


WHAT’S IN IT FOR THE CITIZENS OF ROTTERDAM?

3.

Food sector: Rotterdammers minimise food waste ('per year on average there is EUR150 worth of food waste per person) and have more access to locally produced food which benefits the local economy. Nutrients from food waste stay in the region and are turned into proteins, fats, fertilizer, or inputs for the chemical sector.

FOOD SECTOR

Widespread car sharing creates more space on the streets which increases quality of life, Instead of owning a car Rotterdammers can share a car which realises savings in euro's and in CO2.*

CLEANTECH/SHARING ECONOMY

New housing and infrastructure will be constructed from local recycled products creating less loss of minerals. Houses and office buildings can be constructed in such a way that they can be built modular and selfsustaining.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Households and small business recycle plastic waste through source separation and advanced sorting techniques. Plastics can be recycled as materials for 3D printing. This can eventually decrease the waste tax per household.

WASTE/CLEANTECH SECTOR

* Caresharing companies indicate savings up to 120 - 200 euro's and 8 - 13% less CO2 per month for regular usage.

CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING CE

The path towards a circular economy is paved with challenges for the City of Rotterdam but the ambition to overcome these challenges is high.

Upfront the following challenges are identified:

Integration of CE with existing municipal programmes and policies ➜

will require political will to adapt.

Organisation of sufficient support for CE-objectives within ➜

the municipal organisation.

Availability of sufficient budget and manpower to take the next step. ➜

Boundaries and limitations raised by existing laws and regulations ➜

to allow for new CE solutions and products.

Awareness and acceptance from citizens and SME’s for the need and ➜

advantages tot create a circular economy in Rotterdam.

Traditional ways of procurement based supporting a linear approach ➜

instead of a circular approach.

Creation of a transparent and successful way to facilitate bottom-up ➜

initiatives from within the city.

Establishment of an efficient balance in responsibilities between ➜

the city and its partners.

6.

To address these challenges the Roadmap defines a set of leading principles and identifies actions in the ‘learning by doing’ phase.

RESIDUAL MATERIAL FLOWS IN THE CITY

In a previous study* the primary material flows through the city have been identified. The main economic clusters of Rotterdam** are the focus point of the Roadmap. Within these clusters the combination of a willing stakeholder and materials flows on which circular principles could add value, are the basis for identifying opportunities. These opportunities are the starting point for Rotterdam to take the lead in realizing a circular economy.

EMBED CE

LONG TERM OBJECTIVE TOWARDS 2030 CE

Rotterdam is an important hub for CE-products. CE examples are found at macro, meso and micro level that have proven to contribute to a safe, energetic and adaptable city.

Large scale CE projects set an example and foster the incubation and creation of new products and concepts, also at a smaller scale.

CE covers both material flows as well as knowledge, skills and experience.

CE is seen as THE value driver for economic growth, prosperity and the creation of new jobs for it citizens. It strengthens the Rotterdam community as a whole.

ON INSTITUTIONALISING CE WITHIN THE CITY

ON VOICING OF THE CE MESSAGE WITHIN THE CITY'S ORGANISATION

The required leadership at political, municipal and societal level has been shown to advocate this resource resilient economy. These champions are an inspiration to citizens of Rotterdam and other communities all around the world. They inspire students and young entrepreneurs to develop new skills and concepts.

The City has a strategic alliance in place with Erasmus MC aimed at promoting circular thinking and sharing of practical knowledge.

Due to circular ambitions in the Medical sector there’s spin off with new recycling/business models in the medical sector which also serve as examples for other (European) cities and sectors (construction/mobility/residual waste).

MEDICAL

Rotterdam urban planning and development projects are embedded with circular business & procurement principles.

URBAN DEVELOPMENT/CONSTRUCTION

In the city there are free-zones or living labs for circular initiatives.

FOOD

The Food sector is leading in CE and attracts new investments and business initiatives to Rotterdam and its region.

Food production is based as much as possible on fertilizers and nutrient inputs from local sources like organic wastes and nutrients.

CLEANTECH/MARITIME

Policies on waste water issues are transparent and coherent among various departments (energy, water, agriculture and industry).

Circular (cleantech) start-ups choose Rotterdam as their home market.

Valuable (waste) assets and material streams are retained within the region, or even attract these streams outside the region for local production. This is done by closing material loops. The Port plays a strategic role as hub in this process.

9.


ACT CE


The City facilitates the CE for its citizens and has a framework of rules and regulations in place that allow CE business models to flourish.

Civil servants are stimulated and promoted to increase and support local circular initiatives.

ON FACILITATING CE

Partnerships and networks are bundled to avoid fragmented capacity and budgets.

The City acts as an ‘entrepreneurial partner’ with an appealing and cooperative attitude to support strategic development and provides organizational and financial support in the development of CE.

ON PROVIDING SUFFICIENT RESOURCES (FUNDING) FOR CE

Municipal procurement regulations are circular/performance based.

The internet acts as virtual infrastructure for CE- thinking and production. Product pricing is based on CE-principles and takes externalities into account such as greenhouse gas emissions.

Supports both CE top-down and bottom-up initiatives with the right attitude, know-how, and budget.

ON CONTRACTING/PROCURING CE

City and medical institutions empower each other in achieving a front runner role in the CE.

MEDICAL

Edible food waste is minimized via private redistribution/reselling initiatives. Grade 2 food and vegetables are put to use for human consumption instead of energy production or animal feedstock.

FOOD

There are professional and efficient reverse/smart logistics systems in place to collect food wastes form homes and businesses, which reduces residual waste streams considerably.

Food waste is put to use along the cascading use principles in order to maximise value. This means conversion for new biochemical products, packaging materials, or soil fertilizer.

More food is produced locally via e.g. urban farms or more advanced vertical gardens. The soil is fertilized from nutrients originating mostly from the city and its region.

New technologies like proteins from larvae farming are adopted and become mainstream.

10a.


ACT CE


Circular business principles are the cornerstone of business propositions in Cleantech/Maritime sector.

New logistical solutions are available to unlock volumes of specific types of waste for new business models. Developments in the next economy on automisation and unlocking of data sources are the basis.

On technologies (link with next Economy)

Waste water is converted into high quality drinking water and accepted by citizens as “clean and safe” drinkable water. Cellulose, heat and other valuable nutrients that are captured in the process are alternatively used for local production or consumption processes.

New urban areas and neighborhoods are constructed with closed water circuits or are even ‘off’ the water grid.

On waste water

The city increasingly uses plants and trees to clean the air and to prevent urban heating. The organic residual materials from biomass (plants, trees, grass etc) is put to its highest use.

On organic waste

E-waste and consumer products find a second life or local recycling via refurbishment centers within the city. These provide new jobs and make the circular economy tangible for citizens.

Plastic waste is retained as much as possible in the region and recycled to substitute high grade virgin plastic materials.

On plastic and e-waste


CLEANTECH/MARITIME

Big city development projects are incubators for smaller scale circular business models (top down perspective).

Buildings are constructed such to allow for multiple functions during their lifespan.

Urban development projects maximize the use of recyclates during construction and make use of local labor.

Houses are becoming self-sufficient on water, energy and minerals consumption.

10b.


INSPIRE CE


ON CE PROGRESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

CLEANTECH/MARITIME

CE principles are not only adopted as THE way to build business, but increase the profitability of these businesses.


The city’s real estate market as a whole is viewed as a material depot for future use. Transparency is created on materials used during construction to maximize value at demolishing.

MEDICAL

The medical cluster promotes circular thinking and shares practical knowledge on CE in its sector.

FOOD

Rotterdammers and SME’s are inspired and knowledgeable on the economic benefits of reducing food waste.

Rotterdammers accepted and adopted new food sources both ways of production (Protix/Rotterzwam etc.) and favour or produce local foods.

Rotterdam is proud of its leading position as a European center for bio-based and circular economy.

ON KNOWLEDGE CREATION THROUGH PARTNERS WITHIN CE

The city is recognized as a supporting and ambitious partner with the objective to use the partner’s knowledge in city practices.

Circular Economy is the corner stone in all city communications to its citizens and businesses.

Citizens and visitors, including tourists, are periodically informed on achievements in Circular Economy.

Circular Economy based organizations and projects are supported / encouraged to demonstrate their state of the art solutions to students, citizens, and tourists.

The city promotes its success on an international scale.
