What is a circular economy?
The circular economy is a resilient system which tackles global issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, waste and pollution, by utilising three principles: eliminate waste and pollution; circulate products and materials; and regenerate nature (Ellen Macarthur Foundation).
Until now, very few startup programs have focused exclusively on supporting founders who are innovating with circular solutions.
That’s why Fishburners have partnered up with Boomerang Labs and City of Sydney to launch the Circular Hub, a 12-week, no-fee, no-equity accelerator program designed to support ambitious circular founders.
