Circular Economy Basics course-
4 weeks

Being environmentally positive might sound like such a difficult and confusing task, but actually when we learn the basics of circular economy, it’s quite straightforward.

 It all starts with understanding waste.

In this course you will find actionable information for anyone that wants to make well informed decisions that leave a positive impact at the workplace or as a customer. It is also particularly helpful to teachers that want to give better support to their students on these topics. Our actions always contribute one way or the other!

Waste or Opportunity

How does a loved, “have to have it” product today — become trash tomorrow and does it have to? Join this workshop to learn how a business can avoid generating waste that will end up in landfills, our environment, or get incinerated.  Can a business create new income streams in the process?  What about the waste that is already out there? Can that become a profitable business opportunity?  But, before we get to action and not all actions are equal, we will start with a concise and very useful overview on circular economy to give you the necessary tools. The aim is to zero in on the most effective and efficient solutions and give you the skills to recognize these solutions every time.

Circular Economy Tutoring Sessions

A 1hr tutoring session for up to 7 participants to learn more about areas of circular and regenerative economy that you would like to improve.

The session content is based on your requests and the topics you are looking to learn more on. (be sure to fill in form as you schedule to help me better prepare)

These sessions are great if you are:

  • a business owner/professional that needs assistance or problem solving on circular and regenerative business practices.
  • studying circular economy/sustainability and need extra help on a particular topic.
  • researching how a product or material performs in the environment.
  • a customer that wants to do better for the environment and socially.

Sustainable and Cheap

You want to do good, but you are convinced it’s going to cost you. 

In this workshop we will explore exactly why this is not true, why this misconception is so common in our markets, and how to go about improving your impact and profitability at the same time. 

We explore statistics, studies, and plenty of examples at all scales: From EU wide to municipal, corporate, SMEs, and individual. In all these cases, we will demonstrate that savings are not only possible, but to be expected in a circular economy.

But, first things first you need the tools to understand and apply circularity and that is how we start the workshop.

Zero-Plastic Workshop.

Plastic first became widely used in the1960s. There might have not been the convenience we have now, but people did just fine. So, can we have healthy convenience without plastic?

With assessment, research, and innovation your business can be plastic-free or get pretty close.

We will explore the use of plastic, strategies, business models, material alternatives (traditional and new), material feasibility and costs, communication, and trend setting to go plastic-free in 2025. Bring your business challenges and we’ll explore the solutions.

Learner Feedback

I gained some incredibly valuable insights through her interactive approach to learning. Being able to teach through a workshop that can be engaged with, rather than just lecture is an extremely valuable skill that Lara has."
I'm taking the Impact Business Course and the learning has been incredible. Lara, in addition to mastering the subject, is a natural teacher and is concerned at all times with answering questions, clarifying points and showing how it is simpler than we imagine to build a sustainable path in business.."
