Circular Together is a circular economy-focused startup incubator for impact-driven entrepreneurs, that puts partnerships at the core of its programme.

On Thursday 4th August 2022, you can hear the final pitches from the six teams from our 2022 cohort. These teams have worked hard on their businesses for the last six months, and are excited to present their progress with you. Meet the teams:

3Dimensioni

3Dimensioni aims to sustainably manufacture 3D-printed designer furniture out of recycled plastic and metal components, minimising the ecological impact and enabling local circular economies.

Foll-eau Me

Foll-eau Me’s product is locally-sourced drinking water packed in edible algae, which can be either eaten or put into compost afterwards.

Hyve Local

Hyve Local is a digital platform that makes going local and seasonal easier by matching local produce with recipes.

Wardrobe Affaire

Wardrobe Affaire is a renting-while-reselling app that allows consumers to rent out their pieces while trying to sell them. Wardrobe Affaire thus solves the problem of unsold clothes sitting on resell platforms.

Trashcoin

TrashCoin is a waste management solution that mobilises people and creates incentives to take action against plastic waste. TrashCoins earned by collecting waste can be exchanged for cash, food vouchers, stationary items, school fee discounts, and vouchers.

We Are Galaktika

We Are Galaktika takes back silicone products when they reach their end of life. They recycle the silicone with an innovative chemical technology and return it to the companies’ production cycle – in the same quality as the virgin material.

Reimagining business with a triple bottom line of financial, social and environmental ambitions is hard work. We hope you’ll join us to celebrate the next steps for these innovative solutions.

Agenda:

16:00: Welcome and introduction to Circular Together

16:20: Pitches

17:30: Breakout Rooms for networking

How can radical collaborations and partnerships create tangible change? And what makes a collaboration ‘radical’?

Join us at this special Brown Bag Lunch to explore what it means to radically collaborate. We’ll hear from young people at the frontlines of this work and explore how you can build radical collaborations and partnerships to achieve your goals!
