City of Mechelen

Community composting is stimulated by the city of Mechelen to recycle household biowaste at the source and to strengthen social cohesion in neighbourhoods.

This good practice encourages citizens to sort out their household biowaste at the source and turn it into compost.

Coflab is an incubator that uses coffee grounds produced as waste within the city departments as breeding ground for a citizen-based bio-circular economy.

M-Fair is a yearly fair and circular fashion festival, organised by the city Mechelen, with talks, upcycle workshops, a fashion show, a swishing and a fair.
