    Circularity

    Supporting a global move beyond the take-make-waste model to build circular systems that keep materials in use, eliminate waste, and regenerate nature.

    Find Out How

    The consequences of unsustainable consumption are visible in polluted cities, warming climates, and shrinking biodiversity. A circular economy can decouple economic growth from resource extraction by designing out waste, keeping products and materials in circulation, and regenerating natural systems.  Resonance is a recognized leader in advancing circular economy solutions across sectors and geographies. We help companies, governments, philanthropy, and nonprofits design and implement circular strategies that deliver results for business, communities, and the planet.

    Circular Food Systems

    Resonance works with partners across value chains to design systems where food is produced regeneratively, loss and waste are minimized, and commonly wasted materials and by-products are productively reused. We provided management support for Circular Food Systems for Rwanda (CIRF), a project helping agri-food SMEs adopt circular business models that improve livelihoods and reduce emissions.

    "Implicit in any circular economy strategy is a mandate to build creative, efficient, and inclusive cross-sector partnerships. These partnerships must go beyond simply agreeing on shared sustainability challenges to taking real, measurable action toward progress."
