Overview
Circle Economy is a global impact organization dedicated to accelerating the transition to a circular economy—where resources are reused, regenerated, and waste is eliminated.
What they do
Circle Economy works with governments, businesses, and cities to:
Measure circularity (Global Circularity Gap Report)
Design circular strategies
Develop tools and frameworks for reuse and regeneration

The global economy is only ~7–8% circular, meaning most materials are still wasted.
Circle Economy helps shift systems from:
➡️ Linear (take → make → waste)➡️ Circular (reuse → regenerate → redesign)
