Join the world’s most influential circular economy network
Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a circular economy that benefits people, business, and the natural world. We do this by developing evidence-based solutions and providing unique networking opportunities across industries and regions. The circular economy eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials at their highest value, and regenerates nature, all by design. Built on these principles, the circular economy is a resilient system that positively impacts people and the planet while creating economic opportunity. It provides the tools to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, while growing prosperity, jobs, and resilience.
