Circular Earth - August 26
Connections
Ecosystem Alliances
Why i'm betting on ecosystems not silos
Your business as much as ours needs reach, connection, business models - actual customers & clients buying the products/services, and new revenue opportunities .. just as much as you need to be in compliance and make things sustainably circular.
Read down for our Real Circularity Summit - LIVE event - 17th Sept
We sat down and really reflected on the businesses, clients, alliances and projects we have worked on over the years. Up came actually a real clarity on the direction we have always naturally gone in under all areas of Circular Earth - its Ecosystem alliances, just as much as we zoom in to a product and brand level.
We have updated the website to really reflect the work we do - as we are not your go to EPR team - we are innovative, connectors of the Circular Economy - generating with innovators and bringing this newness to the heart of brands.
''Circular Earth helps fashion, textile and product businesses architect circular strategies, products and business models that are commercially resilient, future-fit, and activated through alliance ecosystems.''
This joined up approach is the core of our work - and our upcoming event The Real Circularity Summit (SEPT 17th) London is no different.
The event is an in person day extension of this 'ecosystem' approach - where instead of broadcasting the hosts who come from various spaces of implementation become facilitators of the conversations & connect with the professional audience who in their own right as professionals in the space have their own unique experience and insight to bring to the table.
Generating business opportunity is just as important as mapping the system itself or making a product sustainably circular - you can spend all day generating a systems diagram in principle - however it is bringing the right people into the room / on the phone - in connection to make a great example trail and movement into a larger adoption of circularity and its systems that actually moves it forward.
Set in motion your connected way of working with our alliances, strategy with connected business exchange & media and education.
Example events at The conduit & Treo House
In other news in one of our first 'collaboratives' Sanja Stories incubated from our Ecosystem Incubator we have been acknowledged in the press this past month - being featured in the Independent !
In brands its important not to only create product that showcases high sustainable, circular and regenerative principles - you can get noticed for your versatility the piece lead with size and the adjustable element which leads into keeping an item for longer / in service even with others for longer. That we have modelled the downstream and a new business model is a great addition to that first customer facing benefit. Read here:
Big thank you to our team, business partners, alliances and collaborators .. this work and application of Circularity and Regenerative models is never built by one person.
A big thank you to you all for staying with our connections for all of these years & do make the leap to join us in the real or virtual events, connect and see where your business fits in with our ecosystem.
Yours in Connection

Dear Changemakers, You are more than a piece inside a machine, you are a vital part of the whole. I spent much time before I started to learn in more depth about this subject area, thinking who am I , what can I do ? I was expecting the business owners that I worked for to see the need to apply sustainability and Circularity to their business. It seems I would have been waiting a long time as many businesses are short sighted and do not apply what is necessary. Be ahead of them and be ready...
Dear Innovator, Change comes fast, sometimes it bites you in the ass as a business right ? Do you want to be ready for the new wave and the ones new customers and clients flock to? Change to some businesses feels scary, we get that ... Circularity will cost more they say !! - No not necessarily, we have actually created projects in an agile way that prove the processes first and sometimes fund the innovation itself. It may well take time, it will take you longer without us - we have already...
Welcome to the future, Eco-systemic collaboration. We have been collaborating with those that want to stand for a change in the world and created The Ecosystem Incubator to start co-creating. As the 'Ecosystem Architect' I have overseen the first co-creations myself to really showcase what is possible and to sculpt the new systems and finance models personally. This means we now have blue prints and examples of co-creations both at the brand level, the short term marketing level as well as...
