Transition to a circular urban waste management system is a complex, incremental process involving systemic change. Transition studies have focused on identifying actions and plans to support this radical shift, with governance and control of the process primarily following the transition management approach. Transition management encompasses strategic, tactical, operational, and reflexive activities that are designed to guide, manage, and lead the process of systemic change. In the Netherlands, managing the transition towards a circular urban waste management system has become a priority for cities seeking to address environmental and economic challenges associated with traditional linear waste management practices. This chapter examines the principles of transition management in the context of transforming urban waste management system into a circular and more resilient system. It explores the different types of governance activities involved in this process and investigates how existing capabilities can be leveraged to support the transition toward circular urban waste management practices. Ultimately, by reviewing the current practices of circular urban waste management in the Netherlands, this chapter aims to provide insights to inform policy and practice in managing the transition process, both at the national and international levels.
