  • So many ideas to make you think about the Circular Economy

    I have only just found this podcast, and am trying to catch up on my daily commute. I thought I knew a lot about the Circular Economy but the various guests on the show always leave me with new ideas, or thinking about a different way of doing things. Whilst I can’t always immediately put them into action, I have already added a couple of new projects into the Department’s work stream and that is after listening to about ten episodes.

  • The base for my new project

    I have just finished listening to all 29 episodes and taking notes to help me on the building of my new business model, we have just introduced eco and ethical practices to our 10 years old convenience store and now we found new premises where we want to try to apply the circular economy concept from the start. This show has fed me with information, contacts, inspiration and above all gave me self-belief, thank you!!!
