Driving Sustainable Innovation Through the Circular Economy Australia wide
At The Ecoefficiency Group, we lead the integration of circular economy principles into business operations, helping organisations shift from linear resource consumption to regenerative, closed-loop systems. Based in Brisbane, we provide strategic consulting that supports Australian enterprises in reducing waste, increasing efficiency, and creating long-term value.
We embed circular economy systems into your procurement, design, and operational strategies, transforming waste streams into opportunities and aligning your business with emerging environmental expectations.
Understanding Circular Economy Systems
Circular economy systems are designed to retain material value and minimise environmental impact. Unlike traditional models that treat products as disposable, a circular economy keeps resources in use, optimising their lifespan and usability.
These systems focus on:
- Designing for disassembly, repair, and recyclability
- Eliminating unnecessary materials and reducing waste to landfill
- Creating internal loops, such as water reuse and energy recovery
- Choosing low-impact suppliers and recycled-content products
- Extending the life of products in use through repair and reuse
We help organisations build these principles into both day-to-day operations and long-term sustainability strategy.

Practical Application of the Circular Economy wide Model
Circular economy thinking is embedded across all of The Ecoefficiency Group services — from energy, water and waste audits to carbon strategies and procurement assessments.

Our support includes:
- Waste stream analysis and resource recovery planning
- Procurement guidance using our 10-point sustainability checklist
- Education and training modules for internal teams
- Recommendations aligned with circular design and product lifecycles
We take inspiration from global frameworks, such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, while tailoring implementation to the specific needs of Australian businesses.
