A circular economy employs reuse, sharing, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling to create a closed-loop system, minimising the use of resource inputs and the creation of waste, pollution and carbon emissions (Journal of Cleaner Production).

Businesses that want to transition to more circular practices can benefit from:

• Baseline data analysis and waste audits to investigate circular economy opportunities
• Procurement data analysis
• Circularity evaluations
• Action plan development
