Circular Australia is proud to release its latest report Unlocking Circular Markets with Arup. The report deep dives into the value chains of key resources - lithium for mobility, PET bottles, green steel, low carbon cement and textiles. Shining a light on these value chains reveals enormous lost opportunities to secure greater productivity and efficiencies, cut carbon, while creating the products and services of the future - without waste. Congratulations Arup team for this nationally significant contribution to Australia's transition to a circular economy - Leanne Griffin Emily Gentilini and team. Thanks to all contributors including Ben Gow Anna Minns Asha Kayla Lisa Rippon-Lee and special contributions Joyanne Manning Bronwyn Voyce We will be running accelerators on activating circular market opportunities early next year - will send dates soon and hope to see you there.

The representatives of the startups that make up Batch 7 of our Circular Economy Accelerator program are here! We're excited to spend the next two months working with so many passionate people from literally all over the world - more specifically, from six of the seven continents! (Sorry, Antarctica, maybe next time!) The introductory session was all about the details of the upcoming program and getting to know each other. The teams pitched their respective business models and received feedback from their peers. The program continued with a workshop on the topic of circular design, held by Bas Roelofs of CIRCO. The young entrepreneurs took an in-depth look at their respective business models and explored how to think out of the box and find new ways to create and improve their solutions for a circular economy. Stay tuned to find out what happens in the coming weeks!
