Promote your business, reach new customers and be part of a community of businesses leading the charge to create a circular economy in Aotearoa New Zealand.
"Hick Bros are now our biggest customer thanks to the Circular Economy Directory." - Ben Redwood, CEO & Co-Founder, Mutu
In a circular economy resources are never abandoned to become waste or pollution. 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 aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. This also creates the economic foundations for the nature regeneration that is urgently needed.
A first of its kind for Aotearoa New Zealand, the Circular Economy Directory connects businesses seeking circular solutions to businesses that can help design out waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use and regenerate nature. Its purpose is to help businesses reduce their environmental impact and carbon emissions.
It’s a one-stop shop to help businesses find products and services to start their circular journey.
The Directory is a collaboration led by the Sustainable Business Network with the Ministry for the Environment, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, Thinkstep-anz, Auckland Council & Auckland Unlimited and Āmiomio Aotearoa.
Lead the charge for a circular economy, be proud of what you do and share your circular business solutions with the rest of Aotearoa. Join the Circular Economy Directory to move towards a better future.
SBN's Circular Economy Directory has created a place of belonging for circular economy practitioners all working towards a common purpose, which is to be a good ancestor to our tamariki. Being on the platform has helped to both sharpen our stones by taking inspiration from fellow change makers as well as to connect and partner with forward thinking businesses looking to innovate!
