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

You may have seen orange, green, and black scooters on sidewalks around town and wondered what they’re for and how to use them. Or maybe you are a UHBikes bikeshare aficionado and are curious about what’s next for bikeshare in Cleveland.

The act of gardening is an ever-evolving learning process. There is always something to tend to, from watering, weeding, or pest management. It can get frustrating at times, especially when a garden is carefully planned with specific plants and some do not survive or plants show up that you don’t want. However, gardening also teaches patience and flexibility and to expect the unexpected.

 “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)
