Europe
The current linear economy is not serving our changing world. Circular systems on the other hand have mutually reinforcing benefits which reduce waste, build resilience and can provide a competitive advantage. In a “circular economy”, businesses “design out” waste through their operations, processes and products. Circularity Capital invests in market leading growth-stage businesses which are enabling the transition to a circular economy. These innovations are making a fundamental contribution to achieving climate targets, and their positive impact drives their financial success.
Impact
33 milllion
tonnes of UK CO2 emissions per year could be saved by implementing a comprehensive circular economy.
