Urban Ocean Circularity Assessment Findings

We are pleased to announce the release of Urban Ocean's first city cohort’s Circularity Assessment Protocol (CAP) report findings! Conducted by the Circularity Informatics Lab at the University of Georgia, the CAP is a standardized assessment to inform decision-makers through collecting community-level data on plastic usage and management. The CAP results provide baseline data for Resilient Cities Network’s Opportunity Assessment Tool, which represents Stage 2 of Urban Ocean. This comprehensive Gap Assessment allows participating cities to map challenges, risks, and vulnerabilities within their critical waste management systems.
