A circular economy presents a system-wide solution that encourages a rethink of the way we design, manufacture, use and manage products and materials, across the entire lifecycle, including at the end of life. Reducing resource use, increasing resource efficiency, eliminating unsafe chemicals, and enabling circular material flows are at the core of a circular economy. A fair and equitable circular economy will also address inequalities, assuming higher responsibility for high-income countries that consume more resources.
The Product Stewardship Centre of Excellence is an independent, not for profit charity, that seeks to reduce waste generation and create positive environmental and social outcomes through sustainable design, resource conservation, reuse, repair, and recycling. The Centre helps businesses, industries, and product stewardship organisations to adopt a strong lifecycle approach to deliver their ESG and circular economy objectives. We also provide independent advice on product stewardship priorities to the Australian government.
