Steve Morriss Joins Part #2 of the Circular Conversation

Circular Conversations

As part of Global GreenTag's Ethical Manufacturers' initiative, Circular Economy pioneer Steve Morriss, Founder of Close the Loop joined our conversation on Circular Economy (CE) and provided an insight into a real case study.

Steve Morriss states that:

"While the Circular Economy is not new, it is now urgent."

With Close the Loop, Steve created a product stewardship / circular economy company that specialises in closing the loop on consumer products, including toner cartridges, cosmetics and electronics and his own product invention - Tonerplas, which is a high performance asphalt additive made from waste plastics.

Close the Loop was a finalist in 'The Circulars' awards by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in 2019. The company later merged with OF Packaging in a 'Circular Integration' and successfully listed the new entity called Close the Loop Group (CLG) on the Australian Stock Exchange.

Joining Steve and returning for this second part of our Circular Economy conversation series is Meryl Sukumar, a Sustainability Consultant and Mentor. Session facilitator is GreenTag's former Sales and Certification specialist Brett Hazlett.

Webinar participants received:

• A practical insight into a Circular Economy business
• A deeper understanding of what Circular Economy means and where it is going.
