The document outlines a comprehensive set of circular economy interventions for the City of Cape Town, categorized by the principles of prioritizing regenerative resources, stretching product lifetimes, and using waste as a resource. Key initiatives include the Green Procurement Action Plan, the transition to electric vehicles, the development of repair hubs and equipment libraries, and the implementation of organic waste diversion targets.

• The City of Cape Town has integrated circular economy principles into its Green Procurement Action Plan, which includes goals such as developing sustainable building guidelines based on a minimum of GBCSA 4 star standards and institutionalizing 'Closed loop' procurement systems.
• The City is targeting a phased transition to electric vehicles, including a specific target to convert 2% of the City's fleet to electric vehicles and the planning of EV charging infrastructure.
• Waste management strategies focus on organic waste diversion, with a target of 50% diversion by 2022 and 100% by 2027, supported by the distribution of 5,000 home composting containers per year to residents.
• The document proposes several 'sharing economy' and life-extension interventions, such as establishing Repair Hubs at waste drop-offs, creating Equipment Libraries for citizens and micro-enterprises, and developing a co-working/office sharing framework to reduce the need for new buildings.
• The City is exploring the use of waste as a resource through projects such as using stockpiled builders rubble in construction projects, converting waste to energy/electricity, and implementing a Biosolid Benefication Facility to process wastewater treatment plant sludges.
• To support innovation and small businesses, the City is implementing 'CircEcon Living Labs'—licensed areas for piloting innovation—with the Philippi Horticultural Area serving as an organic waste lab.
