In Australia, circular economy adoption is still relatively new. The Australian Circular Economy Hub (ACE Hub) is facilitating the transition to national circular economy adoption, by connecting networks of actors through a range of activities that focus on education, collaboration, support, leadership and measurement.

This report is an example of collaboration in action. Chapters are authored by ACE Hub Technical Supporters, who have tapped into their industry experience to identify key areas of opportunity and real-world case studies that can inspire collaboration and build confidence around the transition to a circular economy.

The purpose of this inaugural State of circularity in Australia report is to inform and inspire action towards increased adoption of circular economy business models and thinking in Australia. With circular economy adoption in its relative infancy in Australia, the report provides foundational perspectives for both industry and government to enable progress towards circularity.
