Something big is happening in Queensland this year.
There is a circular shift underway globally. Here in Queensland we are catalysing this shift by asking, what actions can Queensland take together today to manage the transition to the circular economy of tomorrow that provides all Queenslanders with an advantage?
Welcome to the Circular Economy Lab.
With issues of sustainability at the forefront of attention, there is a nationwide push to reform the current way of working to become more symbiotic, more circular.
Welcome to the Circular Economy Lab, an experimental and collaborative environment with a mission to accelerate the circular economy in Queensland.
The Circular Economy Lab is a platform for multi-party innovation where 27 industry participants explore emerging opportunities and co-author circular solutions.
The Lab provides the innovation framework for key industry stakeholders to address entrenched industry challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities.
Five teams, five big projects, five minutes each. After ideating, prototyping and testing their concepts, the Lab teams all took the stage vying for investment from the circular seed fund, a pool of $100K provided by the Department of Environment and Science. Check out the team focus areas and projects below.
