Our vision is that the design, use and post life treatment of all packaging achieves the best possible outcomes for functionality and environmental impact. We are committed to the principles of the circular economy, where waste streams are redefined as resources, to be re-used, recycled or regenerated and then re-circulated into the economy. Bill is a qualified Plastics Engineer and Business Graduate from RMIT University. Green Angel was founded in 2020 with a vision of accelerating the progress towards sustainable packaging by connecting producers, consumers and community groups to work together towards a Circular Economy. A circular economy continually seeks to reduce the environmental impacts of production and consumption, while enabling economic growth through more productive use of natural resources. It promotes more efficient business models that encourage intense and efficient product use, such as sharing products between multiple users, or supplying a product as a service that includes maintenance, repair and disposal. It transforms our linear economy mindset—take, use and throw away—and fosters innovation and productivity that invigorates existing businesses and creates new ones, delivering more jobs and more growth for local, regional, state and global economies.

We are your partner in circular design and strategy, together shaping a better way forward. Circularity was ‘created’ by our founder Louise Nash as part of a Master of Technological Futures in 2018. We are part of a growing community around the world that is shaping the economy towards regenerative outcomes. Circularity was profiled as one of five businesses on the road to a greener future. At Circularity, we imagine a future where business is in tune with nature, and the value we make aligns with the values we live by. That’s why we are here, to support the changemakers, communities, organisations, industries, and cities ready to make this a reality. Circularity recently facilitated an XLabs circular economy workshop with young innovators to reimagine the future of transport. Circularity is working with the Ministry for the Environment to deliver a nationwide online program and a circular design sprint for XLabs in 2021/22.

* Circular design is the practice of applying circular economy principles at the design stage, where we not only zoom in on user needs but also zoom out to consider the bigger picture with a regenerative and resilient future in mind.

Our services empower companies to launch high-quality content strategies that build awareness and drive revenue. The circular economy is a system where products are designed to be used, reused, and recycled instead of being thrown away. The circular economy promotes a cycle where products are continually reused and recycled. Led by Dr Lynn Wilson this business is on a mission to transform and support those wishing to achieve not only a circular business model but achieve a transparent supply chain.

With a practical, hands-on approach, 2025Design guides companies to plan for circular design and strategies. We can help you evaluate your products and services, your supply chain and business model, and identify hot-spots from a sustainability and circular perspective. From material choice related to function and planned lifetime(s), to manufacturing, design for reuse, repair, and end of life solutions. It is a practical approach focused on your product lines. Designing circular products is not magic, yet often challenging, as global systems and supply chains are not fully developed yet. Over the years we’ve built a wide network within the global wool industry network.

In the circular economy, products are designed and deployed to minimise the consumption of non-renewable resources. Designing out waste and keeping materials in circulation, answers the growing consumer demand for products that enable them to live positive low impact lifestyles, without having to 'do without'. Circular products can also lead to increased brand loyalty, promoting more regular contact between the consumer and the brand and creating more reliable return custom.
