Circular economy and communities
Global linear consumption creates a ruthless demand for our earth’s natural resources. Increased resource pressures are contributing to the de-stabilisation of our planet’s ecosystems and planetary boundaries. For a better future, we must build systems where economic growth and human well-being are no longer so dependent on resource use. Read more
How we work
A circular economy is an economy that creates value from natural resources in new ways, de-coupling growth from negative environmental and social outcomes. It does this by using smarter product design and more efficient processes which deliver against three key principles:
- Design out waste and pollution wherever possible
- Keep products and materials at their highest value at all times
- Regenerate natural systems
At Miller Research, we have a strong track record in supporting communities, businesses, local authorities and government to implement holistic and meaningful circular economy solutions. As an organisation, our way of working is largely focused on empowering and collaborating with others to identify joint challenges, encourage innovation and create positive systems change.
