Senlis and La Fresque Lead Public Efforts Advancing Circular Economy in France

Senlis has garnered a prestigious Gold award from Agorastore's Best Sellers Program, affirming its commitment to circular economy principles through effective management and reuse of public assets. Among 307 laureates in 2025, with distinctions spanning Gold to Bronze, Senlis stood out by excelling in revenue from resale, quantity of reused items, and item diversity, according to Agorastore's general director, Servan Ndjantcha. This recognition highlights the city's strategic focus on prolonging equipment lifespan and optimizing resources, facilitated by Agorastore's digital auction platform which enhances transparency and community benefit.

Parallelly, La Fresque de l’Economie Circulaire won the 'Transition en commun' call, supported by France TV and Radio France Publicités, to spearhead a nationwide campaign encouraging the public to adopt simple circular economy actions — the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). This initiative involves cooperation with fifteen key stakeholders, aiming to mainstream sustainable practices among citizens.

These complementary efforts illustrate France's multi-layered approach to advancing a circular economy, combining municipal innovation with broad public engagement initiatives. They represent significant steps towards resource optimization and environmental responsibility across public sectors and society at large.
