What is the circularity gap?

The circularity gap refers to the difference between the current state of resource use and the ideal circular economy, where all materials are reused, repaired, or recycled instead of wasted.

How does Reconomy help businesses close the gap?

Reconomy provides practical solutions to help businesses transition to circular operations — from compliance and waste reduction to reuse systems and sustainability consulting.

Why is closing the circularity gap important?

Closing the gap enables more sustainable use of natural resources, reduces emissions and waste, and supports long-term business resilience in a changing regulatory landscape.

Let’s close the circularity gap

The circularity gap is the difference between the world we have now, and the world we could have, where every business is actively working to repair, reuse, and recycle to prevent the creation of waste. For businesses to choose a waste-free world, they must embrace the circular economy as, only by thinking more circular, are we able to close the circularity gap.

From linear to limitless Circularity made simple

From linear to limitless

In a traditional, linear economy, resources are extracted, used, and discarded, leading to waste and the depletion of finite natural materials. We’re helping build a circular economy, where resources are reused and products are designed with repair, reuse, or recycling firmly in mind.

Circularity made simple

Reconomy is helping make the circular economy accessible to everyone by showing how small sustainability wins can collectively lead to something far bigger and more meaningful.

We’re enabling businesses to overcome sustainability challenges every day, creating new opportunities for them to repair, reuse or recycle their resources as we collectively seek to close the circularity gap.
