Urban waste management is one of the most complex and urgent challenges that the society faces. In this paper, an innovative research methodology is proposed, introducing a systemic approach to circular waste management strategy‐making. Urban waste management is a complex system that needs to be tackled in a holistic, yet context‐specific manner. To produce truly integrative outcomes, this paper provides insight into the system as a whole, its components and the relationships between them, using specific tools, to form the basis for a circular strategy. A toolbox is presented for transforming the current linear and fragmented waste management processes into integrative and circular strategies. The proposed integrative methodology encompassing outline, multipillar mapping, and synthesis can be applied to different locations and waste streams. The concept is subsequently demonstrated through a case study focusing on the municipality of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and the management of organic waste streams.

设计循环废物管理策略：以阿姆斯特丹的有机废物为例

城市废物管理是社会面临的最复杂，最紧迫的挑战之一。本文提出了一种创新的研究方法，为循环废物管理战略制定引入了系统方法。城市废物管理是一个复杂的系统，需要以一种整体的，因地制宜的方式加以解决。为了产生真正的综合结果，本文使用特定工具提供了对系统整体，其组成部分以及它们之间的关系的洞察力，从而形成了循环策略的基础。提出了一个工具箱，用于将当前的线性和零散废物管理流程转换为集成和循环策略。所提出的包括轮廓，多支柱映射和合成的综合方法可以应用于不同的位置和废物流。
