The project ‘Circular City Labs (CCL) – Testing reusable packaging systems in cities’ aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through waste prevention by promoting reusable packaging systems and strengthening women’s participation in local circular economies.The city from South America which this project is being developed is Medellín, Colombia.

What we are achieving

In this context, two key components are proposed for development. The first is focused on the city's business ecosystem, through an acceleration lab that promotes initiatives for the reuse and returnability of containers and packaging. The second component, in which ICLEI is related, aims to strengthen local public policies, with the goal of establishing a regulatory framework that supports the implementation of these practices within the city.
