Circular is an award-winning multidisciplinary practice combining sustainable architecture, interiors, digital media, branding and experience design. Our vision is to be a global leader in producing designs for innovative, resilient, human-centered spaces and systems that promote happiness, delight, healthfulness and community. The Circular Economy is built on the principles of eliminating linear waste and pollution from the outset, keeping products and materials in use at their highest value, and regenerating natural systems. Circular CX is the result of orchestrating interactions and experiences, and transforming systems to create material, spatial, visual and experiential environments for habitation. Circular Design is a collaborative, iterative process that is inclusive, holistic and applies circular economy principles at the design stage of everything. As Principal of Circular, Jordan has been the creative force behind the firm’s award-winning projects worldwide. Circular is an award-winning multidisciplinary practice combining sustainable architecture, interiors and experience design. Jordan is a Certified Passive House Designer (CPHD) and a LEED Accredited Professional.

Now we are part of the solution and we help brands make the tricky move to a profitable sustainable circular economy. Our vision is to ensure you meet the Paris Agreement target through exciting and innovative strategies which deliver customer engagement and brand loyalty. This is the driving force behind Circular Inc. We design new products using complete circular principles and Digital IDs for traceability. We offer Apparel and Textile Renewal, Sales Channel Management for Renewed Products, Circular Mapping, Data Collection and Textile Recycling R&D. We create upcycled products from discarded apparel and textiles operating a zero-waste circular system that recovers value out of what has already been created as a way of serving customers, partners, and planet. Using our five interconnected Labs, you’ll produce innovative low impact clothing, drive employment in the green economy and create profitable circular business models that align with the UN SDGs 8 & 12.

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.

We are at a turning point where our current operating and economic models are no longer sustainable. The Circular Economy is a new way of creating value, and ultimately prosperity. It works by extending product lifespan through improved design and servicing, and relocating waste from the end of the supply chain to the beginning – in effect, using resources more efficiently by using them over and over, not only once (UNIDO, Circular Economy). The circular economy provides an opportunity to reduce supply chain disruption, stimulate innovation and job creation, economic growth and prosperity while reducing environmental damage. Eliminating waste at the design stage to ensure products are made with sustainable and non-polluting chemicals or toxic substances to avoid polluting air, land, and water with greenhouse emissions and hazardous substances. Manufacturing products require a high intensity of natural resources, energy, water, and labor. Keeping products and materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, repair, repurposing, and remanufacturing of products to avoid the use of raw materials. Through assessing your business operations, starting from the design stage to production, processes, and distribution, we help you identify your environmental impact and provide circular and sustainable solutions.
