Ideas for the circular economy
Designing the circular economy

We are proud to have been working with Rubbish Ideas since 2018, from a 100% recycled and recyclable wine bottle to sustainability data for our event customers through the Rubbish Portal.

At first I was sceptical it was possible… but with Rubbish Ideas' support we've been doing cup-to-cup recycling since 2022, and I'm very pleased with the results.

Rubbish Ideas helped us really steep in the specifics of circularity on our journey to zero residual waste. Their tailored but shareable solution makes the road to zero-impact possible.

Measure your impact today
Reduce waste
See exactly what you consume and throw away, so you can cut waste, starting with materials that can't be recycled.
Lower your emissions
Measure emissions across procurement, operations and your supply chain, then work out how to minimise them.
Save money
Reduce costs by measuring, and then improving, the efficiency of procurement, operations and waste management.
Easy reporting
View results online or build reports with a drag-and-drop builder, ready to share with your team, partners and regulators.
Show compliance
Stay ahead of legislation with detailed evidence of how you're meeting your environmental targets.
Increase reuse & recycling
Use data-led procurement and operational improvements to push reuse and recycling rates higher.
Communication is half the battle
Core Topics
Circularity
Is the circular economy the way forward? How it applies to today's industries and the unprecedented benefits it brings.
Plastics
There's a lot of rubbish talked about plastics. We focus on the science: where plastics genuinely help, and how to avoid the common pitfalls.
Carbon
The planet is heating fast and humans are the cause. There's plenty we can do, but the hard part is cutting through the misinformation.
Join the circular movement
Conserve resources, cut costs, reduce waste and pollution, and help build a more resilient, equitable society. Good for the planet and for your bottom line.
