Organic resources in the circular economy

Using innovative approaches, management and partnerships to transform food waste and other organic resources into closed-loop value chains.

Feeding cities has resulted in the linear production and transport of vast amounts of food and other organic resources, much of which ends up down our toilets, in expensive landfills or polluting waterways. A third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted, along with the associated water, nutrients and energy. And a broken value chain this inefficient does not make business sense. Transformative change is needed to move away from the current linear approach towards a more circular economy.

By recovering and reusing food waste, wastewater and other organic resources we can create closed cycles that mimic nature. Creating circular organic value chains avoids pollution, reduces depletion of finite valuable resources, contributes to food security, improves public health and creates local employment opportunities – all these benefits from untapped and undervalued waste streams.

Transforming to a circular economy requires cross-sectoral collaboration across the value chain from end-users to producers. We get it. We bring together diverse stakeholders from the waste, energy, water and food sectors to partner in creating efficient and effective value chains. We understand that there are barriers to change – such as regulatory fragmentation or cost-effectiveness – in a complex system. We’ll work with you to overcome these barriers and to tailor strategic and practical solutions to address your needs while maximising sustainable outcomes.
