Luxembourg is also advancing circularity in the Sharing Economy with automotive leasing and<br />

car sharing, as well as leasing and sharing of building equipment by companies like Floow2 (B2B<br />

Internet marketplace) and Loxam, a pioneer in construction and industry equipment rentals.<br />

An estimated €1 billion of circular economy activities currently occur in Luxembourg, employing<br />

upwards of 15,000 citizens, mainly in industry, as well as in buildings and construction, and<br />

retailing. Retailers like Oikopolis (organic produce) and Cactus (supermarkets) have cultivated<br />

supplier networks for local products. Traditional resource management firms like SDK (waste<br />

recycling), Valorlux (management of household packaging waste flows), and Ecotrel (WEEE<br />

compliance collection and recycling) are promoting innovative approaches to educate the<br />

public on circularity through mobile apps.<br />
