“Let’s Go Circular”, project of the Municipality of Tirana in Albania in support of the circular economy

The Municipality of Tirana in Albania, the country’s capital, within the framework of the agreement with the European Union for the Development of the Circular Economy, is taking significant steps to transform the city towards a more sustainable model.

In collaboration with the European URBACT program and other EU cities, projects are being developed aiming to promote new practices for waste reduction and more efficient resource usage.

The “Let’s Go Circular” project aims to create a platform where citizens, businesses, and organizations can collaborate to develop and implement concrete strategies that support the circular economy.

Recently, the fifth meeting of the local Urbact group was held, where the vision and main objectives of the Action Plan for the Circular Economy were discussed.

This plan, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2025, includes minimizing plastic packaging and organizing green activities as the first steps towards transforming the city.

Apart from strategy drafting, the project will focus on testing pilot activities and monitoring results to ensure their sustainability.

In collaboration with local and international partners, the Municipality of Tirana aims to become a success model for European cities, contributing to creating a cleaner and greener environment for all citizens. (December 2)
