Circonomy Information

Circonomy is a certified and award-winning social enterprise with a purpose to create a world without waste including human potential, by mobilising dormant goods and employing neurodiverse team members. In doing so, it aims to reduce the need for new, finite resources, enabling the transition to a net- zero circular economy and foster an inclusive workforce. Born from a neighbourhood garage sale in Brisbane in 2013, Circonomy is building a new business model by developing strategies and partnerships to reuse, resell, remake or recycle, extending the life of a diverse range of things from construction materials, office furniture, electronics and household goods. Circonomy enables consumers of their circular economy marketplace access to affordable quality goods that would have otherwise gone to waste. And they enable their supply partners to measure impact with technology that reports on avoided landfill and in the future, metrics that capture embodied carbon and planetary markers. To date, Circonomy's journey has diverted vast amounts of waste from ending up in landfills and in partnering or shopping with them, customers are reducing waste and combatting climate change. Circonomy is innovating a new economy - one where circularity is the norm. And we do it in a way that provides life-changing opportunities for our youth and people with all abilities. We bring together leading retailers, resource recovery partners, resale channels and everyday Australians, to together give new life to still-useful things.
