Place-based Circular Economy

Working with a large US retailer on how they use their stores and status in the communities which they operate to drive environmentally linked social impact. Rather than focusing on material flows, what are the geographically focused circular interventions that can support traditionally marginalised black and brown communities. 

My role is multi-faceted but in short; helping the business to link the research findings to the business strategy, ensuring that they keep sight of the circular economic opportunity rather than just the social one, “provocate” their thinking and conversations with internal stakeholders, and work with the team to design and implement the pilot.
