Ever wondered how your old phone could help save the planet and support local jobs? Welcome to the world of circular economy!

The circular economy is not just another trendy term, it’s a refreshing approach to closing the loop on waste and considering the environmental cost of our consumer orientated lifestyles. It’s a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated. It’s good for business, good for our planet and good for our economy. In the latest episode, the team highlight how a mindset shift encourages us to change the way we consume things, recycle, repurpose and close the loop when it comes to waste.

Whether it's reviving old clothes, reusing margarine or ice-cream tubs, or making more use of the growing “sharing economy”- these small changes can lead to big environmental benefits.

Duncan Pritchard highlights that it's not just about keeping waste out of landfills—it's about boosting local economies and supporting sustainable practices.

By opting for second-hand items or choosing local businesses, we create a ripple effect that enhances community growth. Green Corridors website
