Circular Economy

The Circular Economy team at The Council aims to promote the effective utilisation of natural resources through a combination of data, policy, and market instruments. Council’s work on circularity cuts across multiple sectors, including water, clean energy technologies, refrigerants, municipal solid waste, textile waste, construction and demolition waste and agricultural residue. The team is creating evidence around economic and market opportunities, assessing waste treatment technologies and domestic capacity, identifying markets for reclaimed materials, and developing financing solutions for a circular economy. The team also convenes policymakers to sensitise about the barriers and opportunities for adopting the various circular economy principles across the supply chains. A direct industry engagement of the team ensures that proposed interventions are practical and scalable.
