Developing the business case for circularity - Enviro Conference 2024

The Developing the business case for circularity presentation (available here) was delivered by Sphere Associate, Ken Baumli, at the Enviro Conference 2024 on 26 June 2024.

Key takeaways from the presentation include:

  • The increasing need for a shift towards circularity and circular economy models within organisations is unavoidable as our current demand for resources outpaces availability and biocapacity.

  • Although recycling and resource recovery policies and regulations differ across Australia, the overall message is consistent: promote circular economies, divert waste from landfills and promote resource recovery and recycling.

  • There are financial and non-financial implications associated with proactively incorporating circularity within existing business models, including risk mitigation and tapping into market opportunities.

  • Developing the business case for circularity requires early planning and continuous stakeholder engagement to deliver outcomes.

  • Securing internal budgets and approvals from decision makers requires translating opportunities and risks into actionable insights.
