2. Plan C mission “ Plan C creates real breakthroughs towards a sustainable materials economy and society in Flanders and takes an exemplary role in Europe.”

3. Transition(s) in waste management The waste management system, such as developed during 80s-90s, is under pressure. Plan C, as a policy process, was introduced in 2006 by OVAM with the goal of reorienting its waste policy towards sustainable materials management. The approach that is followed to innovate waste policy was inspired by “transition management” (introduced in the NL since 2001). All activities for facilitating the process, communication, expertise, studies, etc. were supported by OVAM.

15. Central mechanisms to which experiments contribute to sustainable transitions 1 Deepening [learning as much as possible in a specific context] 2 Broadening [linking and repeating in different contexts] 3 Scaling up [embedding the experiment in (new) dominant ways of thinking (culture), doing (practices) and organizing (structure)]

21. Lessons learned Transition management as a form of policy innovation. A case study of Plan C, a process in sustainable materials management in Flanders.

26. What about transferability? “ Transfer” as reproducing practices in a new context. It is clear that characteristics of the transfer and/or local re-development process affect results considerably. What is the intended degree of transfer? [Perspective Study Governance and C2C] “ One of the lessons of policy analysis research is that the context in which new policy processes like Plan C has to perform is of immense importance for explaining success and failure”
