Implementing circular economy practices and resource‑efficient business models offers significant opportunities for UK organisations—from reducing operational costs to strengthening competitive advantage and meeting Net Zero requirements. Increasingly, demonstrable progress in these areas is essential for securing public sector contracts and maintaining stakeholder trust.
Yet the journey is rarely straightforward. Developing circular or resource‑efficient innovations requires new capabilities, strategic risk‑taking, and resilience in the face of competition from established, low‑cost linear alternatives. Many promising initiatives stall before they reach commercial viability.
This webinar presents a practical roadmap for businesses, local authorities, and voluntary organisations seeking to design, test, and scale resource‑efficient innovations. Participants will learn how small‑scale strategic niches—such as living labs—supported by collaborative networks across industry, civil society, and academia can act as powerful engines for experimentation and growth.
We will explore how organisations can:

  • Build and participate in small‑scale industrial and community coalitions
  • Develop circular innovations that are viable, scalable, and commercially resilient
  • Navigate alternative transition pathways that enable innovations to move successfully from protected niches into mainstream markets

By the end of the session, attendees will understand how they can play an active role in accelerating the transition toward a resource‑efficient economy—while strengthening their own competitive and sustainability performance.
