Circularity Specialist —

Tony’s in-depth knowledge of materials science and circular principles, combined with our holistic Impact framework, offers significant benefits to our clients. For businesses looking to minimise their environmental footprint, circularity is no longer a niche concept but a crucial strategic imperative. By applying circular economy principles, we help our clients move beyond traditional linear "take-make-dispose" models, fostering designs that emphasise resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the long-term value of materials. This translates into tangible advantages such as reduced operational costs, enhanced brand reputation, compliance with evolving environmental regulations, and increased resilience against supply chain disruptions. Ultimately, embracing circularity helps our clients build more sustainable, future-proof assets that contribute positively to both their bottom line and the planet.
