Circular Cities Initiatives and The Example of Prague with Vojtech Vosecky

Over half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, making these spaces a good starting point for rethinking how we use existing resources and identifying how we can reuse materials in a closed-loop manner. In this week’s episode of the Getting in the Loop circular economy podcast, I speak with Vojtěch Vosecky from Circle Economy about circular cities. You’ll learn what the city of Prague is doing to move towards a circular economy and how they have adopted circular economy strategies, especially in public purchasing and procurement policies. Many of the examples Vojtěch shares are related to the biocycle and biological materials, including circular agriculture processes and public awareness campaigns to help reduce food waste.

Welcome to Getting In the Loop – a podcast dedicated to exploring how to transform to a more circular society that recognises our planet’s limited resources. Join host Katie Whalen as she examines the challenges facing our current resource use and discovers alternatives to the ‘take, make, dispose’ way of doing things. Each week she interviews circular economy experts about what they’re doing and learning (including Anna Tari of the Circular Economy Club, Ken Webster of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and many more). Together we'll uncover what circular economy means in practice and find out what's being done to keep our resources in a loop rather than sent to waste.
