Each case study within the CIRCTER project looks into an initiative that have been implemented to move towards a circular economy and with that tries to identify how circular economy works in real conditions and how regional factors can unlock the circular economy potential and contribute to territorial development. They looked into the Scottish Strategy for a Circular Economy: Making Things Last (2015). This strategy highlights the need of a change in mind-set and new, specific skills to take advantage of new approaches to design, inspection and cleaning in remanufacturing and repair. With its comprehensive, cross-sectoral approach, Scotland aims to reshape the behaviour of businesses, communities and house-holds by transforming the “throw-away culture” into a circular economy
