Municipality-Led Circular Economy Case Studies Municipality-led circular economy case studies In partnership with the Climate-KIC Circular Cities Project An urban circular economy is one in which cities keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end their life. It is a more efficient and environmentally sound alternative to the traditional linear economy in which we make, use and dispose of resources.

With their high densities, cities hold the potential to adopt circular, restorative economies where we no longer consider anything to be waste. The EIT Climate-KIC Orchestrated Innovation Ecosystem program is specifically looking for initiatives that promote and catalyse the sharing of circular economy innovation between cities, regions and networks on a global basis, which is the essence of the Climate-KIC Circular Cities project.

Waste. Everyone produces it, every day and in ever rising amounts. Currently, 560 kilograms are produced per person per year in Graz, and the trend is increasing. Measures for waste prevention are more in demand than ever before, as growing amounts of waste pollute our air, our water, the animals and the soil. Due to new technologies and the merging of creative approaches with the economy, we now have numerous chances and opportunities to no longer treat our waste as an annoying left-over, but as a precious raw material. We can use this resource sensibly, or even more sensibly, not produce it in the first place. Whether it’s an old cooking spoon, yesterday’s newspaper, an empty can of goulash, or a used plastic bag; whether it is worn-out furniture, bicycles, electric devices or the 50s dress with a floral design – for many, not needed things, there are just as many possibilities to re-use, re-design, exchange or simply to repair and pass them on. On the one hand, this catalogue shows what the City of Graz already offers in the areas Reduce, ReUse and Recycle.

  • The Informal Sector and Economic Growth of South Africa and Nigeria: a Comparative Systematic Review
    Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Review The Informal Sector and Economic Growth of South Africa and Nigeria: A Comparative Systematic Review Ernest Etim and Olawande Daramola * Department of Information Technology, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, P.O. Box 652, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 10 October 2020; Published: 6 November 2020 Abstract: The informal sector is an integral part of several sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries and plays a key role in the economic growth of these countries. This article used a comparative systematic review to explore the factors that act as drivers to informality in South Africa (SA) and Nigeria, the challenges that impede the growth dynamics of the informal sector, the dominant subsectors, and policy initiatives targeting informal sector providers. A systematic search of Google Scholar, Scopus, ResearchGate was performed together with secondary data collated from grey literature. Using Boolean string search protocols facilitated the elucidation of research questions (RQs) raised in this study. An inclusion and exclusion criteria became necessary for rigour, comprehensiveness and limitation of publication bias. The data collated from thirty-one (31) primary studies (17 for SA and 14 for Nigeria) revealed that unemployment, income disparity among citizens, excessive tax burdens, excessive bureaucratic hurdles from government, inflationary tendencies, poor corruption control, GDP per capita, and lack of social protection survival tendencies all act as drivers to the informal sector in SA and Nigeria. Several challenges are given for both economies and policy incentives that might help sustain and improve the informal sector in these two countries.
