Do you rethink, reduce, refuse, reuse, recycle, repurpose, refurbish, renew, remanufacture, or repair as part of your business activity? If so, we want to hear from you!

Collectively, we throw away tons of stuff each year. But some of that material still has much to offer. From repairing old products to enabling new business models, a successful circular economy has the potential to deliver significant positive outcomes for business, society, and the environment.

The Circular Economy is an alternative to a Make-Use-Dispose economy in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate product and materials at the end of their lives.

The Greater Lincolnshire LEP has been working with partners on a plan to develop a regional circular economy strategic framework, starting with the development of a circular economy evidence base.  With a focus on commercial, industrial, and research activity, the aim is to maximise the potential of harnessing circular economy principles and practice and to drive growth that supports net zero and environmental sustainability. 

 

We are keen to talk to businesses to identify and map areas of current activity across these platforms to identify the potential for clustering activity which could be further supported and developed by the LEP with strategic partners.
