Circular economy, or circularity – you’d have to be living under a rock if you haven’t heard this term before.

Statistics say that only less than 4% of Australia’s economy is circular. It means that every year, as we create products and services to help us live our lives, we use up heaps of natural resources, leave behind tonnes of waste, and deplete the environment around us.

Transitioning to a circular economy model could be a solution. But what is it, and why should we care?

This week, we talk about what circular economy really is, and why it’s important for business leaders, sustainability managers, and clued-in consumers like you and me.

We discuss the role it plays in creating a more sustainable future, and explore some handy tools and support that are available to help us get started.

The Spotlight Series brings you weekly, bite-sized updates and expert insight on sustainability transformation, brought to you by the team behind Sustainability Tracker together with Edge Impact.

Hosted by Kiarne Treacy, one of Australia’s leading expert voices in helping make sustainability simpler for businesses and consumers.
