Introduction
Local Government Denmark (Kommunernes Landsforening, KL) and the Ministry of Environment took the initiative to explore the conditions for an innovative growth in public-private partnerships based on reuse of household waste with municipalities as the main actors. It was a task of mapping streams of materials, strategies and plans, and of identifying potentials for value creating. The mapping is summarized into a tool, a resource guide of kinds, that can be used to evaluate and establish future partnerships or clusters with municipalities as the main player with better resource efficiency as the primary goal.
The business strategy presents an opportunity for the municipalities to develop concrete solutions regarding some of the most current green problems of the day, as well as a way to local job creation. It is the declared ambition of the municipalities to drive the development forwards by facilitation business symbiosis for companies focusing on resources and reuse, thereby creating jobs and growth in the municipalities.
