Rebecca Gilling

A Circular Economy is an alternative model that anticipates and designs for resources to be either safely returned to nature or back into systems where they can be reused or renewed. It is a huge opportunity for businesses to transform their practices away from a "take, make, use and dispose" attitude, towards one that designs for abundance, not scarcity. The transition towards the Circular Economy is happening globally.

The Australian manufacturing industry currently follows a linear-type economy which uses the "take, make, use and dispose" model. This is simply not sustainable. A Circular Economy replaces the "dispose" with "recycle, reuse and repurpose" and keeps important materials such as plastic, metal and paper from ending up in landfill.
