We create new knowledge and devise research and educational programmes to support decision-makers and leaders at multiple scales to influence circular economy systems, strategies and solutions.
We disrupt conventional thinking to identify viable circular economy opportunities and provide insight into managing the implementation of circular systems, strategies and solutions.
We collaborate with business, government, not for profit and other institutions to co-design policies, strategies and solutions to design and build regenerative circular systems.
