Looking at the big-picture issues caused by our linear economy, and what that means for businesses large and small…
Hello, and welcome to the Circular Economy podcast, where we find out how circular approaches make a better business (and a better world): for you, your partners, and your customers.
In Episode 1, I gave a quick intro to explain what the circular economy is and why it’s important. We started to look at how it creates better products and services, and at the same time helps make a better world.
Maybe you’re already trying to reduce your environmental impact, and you want to go further: to find ways of being more sustainable and profitable! The circular economy can help you do that, and strengthen your business in lots of ways.
In this Episode, we’ll dig a bit deeper into the way we do business now – our linear economy – and why that’s creating problems for business, society and for our living planet. I’ll cover a few of the facts from the first episode, plus some additional information.
Then we’ll look at the risks that emerge from those global issues, and how they might affect you. Circular approaches can avoid or mitigate many of these risks, and in future episodes, we’ll be interviewing people who are using the circular economy to re-think the way we make products and design services. I hope their stories will inspire you to use circular approaches to strengthen your own business.
Podcast host Catherine Weetman helps businesses use circular, regenerative and fair solutions to do better, with less.
