Circular Economy & Systems Thinking
Circular Economy
Transforming the System, Driving Circular Progress
Not only will this help tackle climate change and improve the health of the general population, but it will also create more local jobs and economic opportunities.
For society to move from a linear to a circular economy, businesses need to minimise their reliance on raw materials that are in limited supply. Recovery, reuse and repurposing will become critical to future business.
Circular Business Maturity Assessment
Our Circular Business Assessment is an essential tool for organisations looking to transition towards a circular economy. It provides companies with the orientation, guidance, and expertise necessary for a successful transition.
Our assessment offers a comprehensive analysis of your organisation’s operations to identify areas where circular principles can be applied. By conducting a thorough evaluation of your current baseline, we can help you develop a tailored strategy that addresses your unique challenges and goals.
Our team of experts will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring that your transition to a circular economy is as seamless and efficient as possible.

Circularity Strategies
We help businesses transition from traditional linear models to sustainable circular strategies that drive innovation, reduce costs, and build resilience.
Our circular strategy offering is designed to unlock new profit opportunities, reduce environmental impact, and future-proof your business. We follow a comprehensive four-step process:
- Gap Analysis and Opportunity Identification: We start by conducting a thorough analysis of your current operations to identify gaps and opportunities for circularity. This involves evaluating resource use, waste generation, and potential areas for improvement.
- Business Model Assessment: Next, we assess your existing business model to determine how circular principles can be integrated. This includes exploring alternative models such as product life extension, product-as-a-service, and designing for reuse and recycling.
- Capability Gap Assessment: We then identify the capabilities required to implement circular strategies effectively. This step involves evaluating your current capabilities and determining what additional skills, technologies, and partnerships are needed.
- Roadmap Development: Finally, we develop a detailed roadmap to guide your transition to a circular economy. This roadmap outlines specific initiatives, timelines, and milestones, ensuring a clear path to achieving your sustainability goals.

Industrial Symbiosis and Circular Ecosystems Facilitation and Studies
The development of circular precincts will be critical to Australia transitioning to a circular economy. These ecosystems will save companies money, create new revenue streams, maximise value retention within the local economy, creating both resilience and economic growth.
We offer comprehensive industrial symbiosis facilitation and studies to help precincts and companies unlock the full potential of resource efficiency and circular economy principles. Our expert-led approach combines strategic planning, technical analysis, and stakeholder engagement to create tailored industrial symbiosis solutions.
We can apply our circular ecosystem framework to:
1. Industrial areas and Ports
2. Regional towns and local government authorities
3. Major companies with large supply chains
To establish your circular ecosystem today, contact our team to find out how we can work together.

Systems Thinking
“Today’s problems are often yesterday’s solutions” – Peter Senge
The world is not linear, it is complex and dynamic. Problems cannot be solved in isolation, a holistic view is required in order to understand the interconnections and consequences of our decisions.
Our systems thinking framework is about seeing the unobvious risks and impacts of your companies operations and value chain. We understand how things are interconnected and related, this helps to inform decision-making so that sustainable solutions can be found.
This is critical today given the exceedance of the planetary limits. It is important that decisions made today do not have unintended consequences for tomorrow.
To deliver sustainable solutions, you must first understand how the parts of a system fit together.
System Thinking Workshops to help your teams solve the most complex problems
These workshops will provide participants with the understanding and tools to apply systems thinking approaches to complex projects in the workplace. Workshops include a mix of practical exercises to understand how to map systems and identify areas for intervention.
