About the Circular Tech Map

Digital Enablers are vital for a successful transition to a more circular economy - and there are so many out there.

Yet all too often we are working in silos or unaware of the amazing work happening in a different sector.

The Circular Tech Map is one way of sharing and supporting the innovative software that is leading the way in circularity enablement.

What is “circular tech”?

Every discussion of circularity and the circular economy will mention “digital enablers”, however there is no standard definition of what this means.

Criteria for inclusion

For this version of the Circular Tech map, we are including a sample of tech that meets the following criteria:

Must have Software is at the core
We have excluded the exciting areas of material technology or those where hardware is at the primiary focus
Must enable circularity in others
“Others” includes individuals (EG marketplaces or platforms allowing citizens to engage in circular behaviours) or organisations (EG SaaS services to support more circular product innovations)
We have excluded the (very many) amazing organistaions who are using software to enable their own circular transition or circular products.
