In 2019 a Circular Economy Roadmap was developed. This roadmap aims to integrate circular economy principles into EMS' public procurement and operations, while promoting resource efficiency in the metropolitan area, and which is being updated to strengthen the circular economy agenda beyond waste reduction. In addition, three industrial symbiotic clusters and pilots for circular construction and urban development have been developed and launched in recent years.

The strategical roadmap (adopted on 18 December 2019) and the underlying action plan, supported by the French Environment Agency ADEME, define their main orientations:  

1. It starts with us: introducing circular economy (CE) in public procurement and in internal processes at all levels. It includes the adoption of a framework for the promotion of socially and environmentally responsible procurement, as well as experiences such as buying reused furniture and electrical goods. 

2. Do better with less: doing our part in the transition towards a more efficient consumption of resources. 

3. Together, we go further: supporting local stakeholders towards a CE. 

4. Circular economy is self-evident: developing and disseminating a common CE culture. It is possible, through internal learning schemes and knowledge and good practices sharing. The Eurométropole also takes part in local and regional working groups. 

5. Co-building permission: participatory governance that ensures flexibility and transparency. To implement CE, the directions and services of the local authority need to work together.

In 2020, the local economic strategy ‘Pact for a local sustainable development’ was adopted. It aims at bringing all local stakeholders together towards a sustainable development. It is intended to be a process of synchronisation of responsible approaches and local transitions (ecological, social, digital). The management of the Pact is based on several partnership bodies including an annual meeting of signatories and a Convergence Committee of the associated partners of the economic development. There are more than 100 signatories to date, a quarter of whom have engaged in CE initiatives.

A monitoring tool implemented by the French Environment Agency, ADEME, will be used to make progress towards a CE. The Eurométropole de Strasbourg was one of the first local authorities to have obtained the ADEME label ‘Circular Economy Committed Territory’ when it was launched in 2020.
