Empowering a Circular Economy
Circular South East
Circular South East is a collaborative hub connecting businesses and communities across South East England to enable Industrial Symbiosis that benefits all.
Introducing Circular South East
Kent County Council is proud to be a partner in Circular South East, the regional hub for accelerating the transition to a circular economy across Sussex, Kent and the wider South East of England, led by Tech-Takeback with project partners including Claire Potter Design. We also have a Strategic Advisory Board and sector working groups informing direction.
Circular South East is focussed on enabling practical, scalable solutions —reducing waste, cutting carbon and strengthening regional resilience.
As part of the United Circles programme, funded through Horizon Europe, the Hub sits within a wider international network of Circularity Hubs working to transform how resources are used, shared and valued. You can watch a short video about United Circles here.
