Design out waste
The low carbon circular economy offers a pathway towards a more sustainable future. In a circular economy resources aren't abandoned to become waste. Products are designed to be safe and easy to manage in cycles of production and reproduction. By minimising the use of new resources, the circular economy offers the potential for radical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
SBN’s circular economy projects are designed to speed up this inevitable and necessary transition for Aotearoa New Zealand.
We’ve created the first business-to-business Circular Economy Directory for Aotearoa New Zealand
