Week of the Circular Economy in Almere
From 19 to 27 March, Almere is dedicated to the Week of the Circular Economy. During this national week, companies, organisations, makers, young people and other interested parties can experience what circularity means in daily practice: from reuse and repair to circular building and sustainable procurement.
Together with partners in the city, the Municipality of Almere organises various activities to inspire and show that circular working is already in full swing in Almere.
