Circular Economy Strategy

What is a Circular Economy Strategy?

A Circular Economy Strategy is a structured plan that helps an organisation’s transition from the traditional linear model of “take → make → use → dispose” to a circular model. In this model, resources are kept in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, remanufacturing and recycling; waste and pollution are designed out; and natural systems are regenerated rather than depleted.

A Circular Economy Strategy helps organisations

01

Cost Efficiency

Optimise resource use to reduce operational costs and improve overall efficiency.

02

Risk Reduction

Mitigate risks from resource scarcity, supply chain disruptions and evolving regulations.

Cut carbon emissions and minimise environmental harm through circular practices.

04

Enhanced Reputation

Strengthen your brand as a sustainability leader committed to responsible resource management.

05

Innovation Opportunities

Unlock new business models, products and services by embracing circular economy principles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you track if circular practices are working?

We track success with clear KPIs such as:

  • Reduction in waste sent to landfill
  • Recycling and reuse rates
  • Material circularity index
  • Carbon savings from circular practices
  • Cost savings from improved efficiency

How long does it take to build a Circular Economy Strategy?

It depends on the scope. A waste audit and roadmap may take a few weeks, while full-scale implementation across supply chains can take months or years. We tailor timelines to your needs.

Is Circular Economy just another word for recycling?

No. Recycling is part of the circular economy, but it’s not the whole picture. A circular strategy focuses on removing waste from the product from the start, extending product life, reusing materials and creating closed-loop systems.

Is adopting a Circular Economy Strategy expensive?

Not necessarily. While there may be upfront investment, most organisations benefit from reduced material costs, improved efficiency and new revenue opportunities in the medium to long term.
