Survey – Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre

Thank you for taking the time to help shape the Victorian Government’s $7 million Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre.

The Centre will bring together governments, businesses, research organisations and communities to foster innovation and collaboration across supply chains to generate new revenue for businesses, and reduce waste, increase recycling and reuse. The Centre will support businesses to innovate and adopt circular economy business models and business practices.

The Victorian Government defines a circular economy as an economy that continually seeks to reduce the environmental impacts of production and consumption, while enabling economic growth through more productive use of natural resources.
