In 2021, Circular Cleveland engaged a team of international experts to: 

• Assess how materials flow through our regional economy. 
• Surface our main strengths and challenges. 
• Collect input from stakeholders. 
• Focus our attention on a few key areas that will make the most impactful change. 

A Landscape Analysis of how material resources, energy and water flow through our region’s industrial, commercial, residential and transportation sectors provided a baseline, and provided key insights. It also highlighted gaps in our understanding that come from a lack of data. 

The team used this analysis to identify what circular strategies could have the most impact, and published a report titled, Circular Cleveland: A roadmap towards an inclusive, circular city

 “For fashion, a circular economy means ensuring that products (apparel, footwear, accessories) are used more, are made to be made again, and are made from safe and recycled or renewable inputs”. - Excerpt taken from Vision for a circular economy for fashion - Ellen MacArthur Foundation (2018)
