The program respects the SDGs and take extra consideration to 4 particular areas the energy and climate the Water plan the waste plan and the environment program. The work program recommends the following:

1. Maps and assesses the current situation within the three work areas and underlying sub-areas.
2. Prioritises and describes within which work areas and sub-areas that the business has the greatest impact and decides on appropriate goals and measures.
3. Anchors the action plan and decides in committee or board.
4. Updates action plans after revision and any changes in work, goals or actions.
5. Annually follows up its environmental work and works to improve it.

The work includes the participation of the later named stockholders involving academy and public authorities on local and regional level as well as business. The program is to create a better understanding in order to update goals and actions with better regulation, better funding and better knowledge

The PCC strategy is implemented as a Living Lab, involving the entire quadruple helix of local government, industry, academia, civil society, to overcome the barriers that slow down the transition to the circular economy.

Its objectives, resulting from the Urban Agenda for the Circular Economy, are to achieve:

- better regulation

- better funding, and

- better knowledge

TEXAD will improve Prato's policy instrument by improving the ability of the authority responsible for this policy instrument - i.e. the Prato Municipality and of the actors that participate in the design and delivery of the PCC strategy (who participate in TEXAD as the local stakeholders group) to access better funding for new Circular Economy projects. This improvement will be achieved through the Interregional learning activities implemented by the project, that will improve the know-how and delivery of GPs that qualify the Prato Municipality and the stakeholders group to tap more significant and appropriate funding sources, including the European structural and investment funds, ETC and Horizon Europe projects, as well as to establish more innovative partnerships with cities, public and private actors, and regions to participate in new projects and joint initiatives.

Mataró's circular strategy focuses on 6 priority axes, including the textile & fashion industry. By 2030, the city aims to become a leader in business innovation within textiles & fashion, promote local & sustainable textile consumption & develop expertise in textile waste recovery. First, Mataró plans to support & nurture new textile entrepreneurial projects with a focus on circularity. Second, to incorporate technology, innovation & eco-design into both new & existing local & regional textile production. Third, to encourage research into new materials & sustainable production techniques. The city aims to promote sustainable consumption habits, including a shift towards local & quality textile & clothing products. The encouragement of reuse, access-based consumption & the collaborative economy are also prioritized. Mataró is committed to increasing the rates of selective textile collection, preparing textiles for reuse & researching new techniques for textile waste valorization. 4 cross-cutting themes are emphasized: digital transformation, alignment of efforts across the territory, awareness, training & entrepreneurship & circular public procurement. The strategy will be implemented through circular projects executed through action plans including ongoing circular initiatives as well as proposals for projects related to the textile & fashion sector, such as the development of new materials & products from surplus resources a& the utilization of pre- & post-consumer textiles

The Resources Vision encompasses several key features aimed at promoting sustainable resource management & a circular economy:

1. Optimal resource use: focuses on optimizing the use of resources throughout their lifecycle. This involves reducing waste, minimizing resource consumption & maximizing resource efficiency in all sectors, including industry, construction & consumption

2. Circular economy promotion: the transition to a circular economy, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible through strategies like recycling, reusing & repairing. The municipality encourages the development of circular business models & value chains to ensure resources are kept in circulation

3. Sustainable consumption & production: promote sustainable patterns of consumption & production. This involves encouraging responsible consumption choices, promoting sustainable production practices & supporting businesses prioritizing environmental sustainability

4. Innovation & collaboration: the importance of innovation & collaboration to achieve sustainable resource management. Enschede actively seeks partnerships with businesses, research institutions, etc. to drive innovation, share knowledge & implement sustainable solutions

5. Climate change adaptation: to enhance resilience, reduce vulnerability & ensure the sustainable use of resources in the face of climate change

By embracing these features, Enschede aims to create a resilient & environmentally conscious community.

The current Waste Management Programme for the period 2021-2028 aimed at improving the waste management and reducing the amount of generated waste in the municipality of Stara Zagora and creates the necessary prerequisites for the successful implementation of the planned measures and activities.

The implementation of the programme is expected to achieve the following results:

1. Reducing the harmful impact of textile waste by preventing its formation and promoting its reuse;

2. Increasing the amount of recycled and utilized textile waste, by creating conditions for building a network of facilities for treating the entire amount of generated textile waste, which will reduce the risk to the population and the environment;

3. Textile waste management, which guarantees a clean and safe environment;

4. Making the public a key factor in implementing the textile waste management hierarchy.

The Waste Management Programme for the period 2021-2028 aims to provide to Stara Zagora Municipality with a tool for planning the necessary resources, measures and activities to provide quality waste management services to the residents of the municipality and to improve waste management in accordance with the pan-European waste hierarchy.

NORTE 2030 (Northern Regional Program 2021-2027) is an instrument to support the implementation of regional and sub-regional development strategies, mobilizing financial resources to delivery investment in the Northern Region, within the framework of the European Cohesion Policy and the Agreement Partnership Portugal 2030.
NORTE 2030 is structured around five intervention axes, in line with national and European priorities and oriented towards different areas: (i) “More competitive North”; (ii) “Greener, Sustainable and low-carbon North”; (iii) “North more connected”; (iv) “More social North”; (v) “North closer to citizens”.

The priorities of Santo Tirso Municipality in the field of sustainability, climatic transition, decarbonisation and circular economy will be integrated in the axis “Greener, Sustainable and low-carbon North”.

NORTE 203O identfies different sectors as priorities. Among them it is worth mentioning the Creativity, Fashion & Habitat, and within it highlights the challenges related to fashion and textile waste. The response to this challenge, in terms of policy and strategy, is circular economy.

European Funds for Podkarpackie Region 2021-2027 (FEP) is one of the 16 Regional Operational Programmes in Poland co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and European Social Funds (ESF) under the European Union's (EU) cohesion policy.
