The Humankind Approach: Impact, Integrity, Returns

Regenerate Natural Systems

Design Out Waste and Pollution

Keep Products and Materials in Use

The circular economy is a model that uses waste as a resource and keeps materials in use for longer. By reducing the demand for raw materials and new products, circular economy practices offer a new way to approach our collective challenges.

Our Focus Areas

  • The Built Environment

    What we build and how we power it. We believe circular production models make the best use of renewable materials for new construction, while renewable energy solutions power our daily lives.

  • Circular Manufacturing

    Understanding waste as a resource, and designing for a product’s entire life cycle. Companies in this sector buck the “make-take-dispose” business model. Some are turning waste into fashion and creating a new breed of plastics from thin air.

  • Food Systems

    Transforming the food system to sustain more people with less harm to the planet. Intending to promote regeneration through food transparency for suppliers and consumers, controlled environment agriculture, and soil health solutions like biochar.

  • Modernized Healthcare

    Improving health with better materials and sustainable equipment, like circular and virus-resistant PPE. Planning to invest in digital innovations like nanotechnology, which can address disease at the source, and the future of remote care.
