What is the Circular Economy?
Circularity refers to an economic system designed to minimise waste, maximise resource efficiency, and keep products, materials, and resources in use for as long as possible. Unlike the traditional linear model of “take, make, dispose,” a circular economy focuses on reuse, repair, recycling, and regeneration.
We’re exploring ways in which we can share locally relevant circularity initiatives and resources on topics such as food waste circularity, packaging, and construction and refurbishments.

With cities accounting for over 70% of global resource use and carbon emissions according to a recent UN Environment Programme report, integrating circularity in business districts is vital. It enhances urban resilience, reduces climate impact, and prepares businesses for any future resource constraints and regulation. Within London Heritage Quarter where resource consumption patterns, waste production, and economic activity are high, circularity plays a critical role. Many circular approaches such as shared office spaces, repurposing construction materials, composting food waste, and closed-loop supply chains are already in place and contribute to lowering environmental impact and reducing costs.
At a regional level, the Mayor of London is delivering circularity through initiatives like ReLondon, a collaboration between the Mayor and boroughs aimed at enhancing waste and resource management across the capital. We’ve actively promoted ReLondon’s recent campaign to support high street businesses with practical guidance and grant funding to help them explore how circular, low-waste approaches can boost both business performance and environmental impact.
Our plans to share local circularity initiatives and resources chime with the UK government’s Circular Economy Strategy that will give rise to sector-specific roadmaps to maximise resource value, accelerate progress to Net Zero, and create green jobs. They also align with Westminster City Council’s efforts to embed circularity through planning policy and projects such as the Sustainable City Charter that London Heritage Quarter and many BID members are signatories of.

Circularity in London Heritage Quarter is about innovation, economic resilience, long-term urban sustainability, and social value. To express your interest in receiving invitations to our circularity events and initiatives, please contact us at info@london-hq.co.uk
