Go circular for businesses

By 2035, Australia aims to double its circularity – transforming how we use, reuse, and regenerate resources across the economy.

For businesses, circular economy principles offer a pathway to resource efficiency, cost savings, resilience, and competitive advantage, going far beyond traditional waste reduction.

How businesses can go circular

Design for longevity

Create products that minimise waste, last longer, and can be repaired, reused or recovered at end of life.

Rethink business models

Offer alternatives such as product‑as‑a‑service, leasing, repair services, take‑back schemes or reusable packaging systems.

Close the loop

Keep materials circulating through recycling, refurbishment, remanufacturing and regenerative practices.
