Your shift from linear to circular starts here —

XLabs Circular Economy Lab

Together, we will co-create the future to be more valueable, more regenerative and more circular by design.


It starts here.

 


Who is the XLabs program for?

Individuals and business teams who are looking to build their capability and take full advantage of the circular economy opportunity. This is the new narrative for innovation and progress that has been identified to be worth up to $4.5 trillion dollars globally and up to $8.8 billion in Tāmaki Makaurau alone.  It doesn’t really matter what discipline or department you work in, we cater for all levels of expertise. You might be a Sustainability Director, a Designer, an Engineer, an Entrepreneur, or work in Marketing. Making the shift from linear to circular can benefit all areas of your business from procurement, supply chains, innovation, meeting new customer needs and designing closed-loop systems for waste streams. You are welcome to join as an individual but as previous XLabs participants have discovered — your impact will be exponential if you bring a team!

Feedback from participants of our 2020 program — 

 
"We saw XLabs as a place to come up with solutions to the questions and problems we have using the circular economy system, and to understand what might be possible outside of our business 'bubble'. It really helped connect the dots — not just with the amazing speakers who were truly inspiring, but there was so much bouncing off each other's ideas with the other teams. It gave us all encouragement that yes we can do this, and together the challenge is less daunting." - XLabs 2020 participant
