5. CRADLE TO CRADLE (C2C) A POSITIVE vision, based on 3 principles
100% renewable energies
Waste = food
Celebrate diversity
Macro-level benefits:
- improved resilience of economic systems
- economic growth and employment
Preserved natural capital and climate change mitigation
Micro-level:
Cost savings, innovation and revenue, improved customer relationships, improved resilience
Biological cycle
= Consumption
Technological cycle
= Service

9. Pilot project EAE Eselborn-Lentzweiler
CIRCULAR METHODOLOGY
A circular co-creation process
Integrate measures and tools into a roadmap
Define measures and responsibilities
Identify and adapt the tools
Conception modulaire, sur base d’objectifs circulaires
EAU
ÉNERGIE
MATÉRIAUX (Bâtiments et infrastructures, Processus et flux)
MOBILITÉ
ÉCONOMIE DE PARTAGE
PROCESSUS GLOBAL (Planification, Gestion)
Define the implementation strategy
AGREE ON COMMON CIRCULAR OBJECTIVES
Make inventory of the existing
Identify stakeholders
Identify objectives of stakeholders
Define generic and specific circular objectives
Align stakeholder objectives with circular objectives
Pilot project EAE Eselborn-Lentzweiler

10. CIRCULAR METHODOLOGY Accelerate the linear process Designate a pilot
Apply and repeat the circular co-creation process
Collect quality information :

11. RECOMMANDATIONS
Identify and empower a pilot: municipal syndicate SICLER
Integrate in the (rural) context: biodiversity, water management
Densify: Multi-storey, above ground parking, common chemicals and waste management
Share: Renewable energies, equipment
Improve quality: Services to employees and neighbours, mobility
Anticipate reconstruction: adapt building regulations
