Circular Economies
Working to develop supply chains that ‘close the loop’ on extractive and pollutive industries and move away from the ‘make, take, and throw away’ model of production; exploring strategies to create new industries, products and services that minimize waste, conserve energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and utilize outputs from one process as inputs in another.
