Circular Economy & Lifecycle Thinking Services
Edge Impact's Circular Economy & Lifecycle Thinking services facilitate the transition of organisations and sectors towards more sustainable and circular models.
Who we work with
We deliver circular economy, resource optimisation and lifecycle thinking services to corporate entities, large to medium privately owned organisations, government agencies and not for profits.
Our sector experience includes building and construction, FMCG, infrastructure, property, financial services, insurance, and manufacturing.
Our approach
Our Circular Economy & Lifecycle Thinking services employ scientific analysis to guide our clients in transitioning from a linear take-make-dispose economic model to a comprehensive, systems-level circular approach.
This transformation unlocks cost savings, new revenue streams, and enhanced stakeholder engagement, propelling them towards a sustainable and profitable future.
By offering a suite of advisory services encompassing lifecycle thinking, life cycle assessments, circular economy strategies, waste baselining, resource optimisation, and product stewardship, we empower clients to make informed decisions, obtain certifications, develop sustainable policies and strategies, and establish effective waste management programs.
What is the circular economy?
The circular economy is an economic model that aims to minimise waste and maximise the use of resources by designing products, services, and systems to keep materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, recycling, and regeneration.
It promotes a shift away from the traditional 'take-make-dispose' linear economy towards a closed-loop system where materials and resources are continuously circulated and utilised efficiently.
