Transition To A Circular Economy

Circular Economy Africa is a private-public platform in which companies, knowledge institutes, policymakers, and (local) authorities collaborate to promote and support national and international collaboration and knowledge exchange on circular economy in Africa.

Our Focus Areas

The biggest challenge to sustainability lies in the current linear–take, make, waste economic model.

There is a significant disconnection between people and the planet. Without Nature we wont exist, we are nature. 

We are knowledge exchange platform for sustainability information and tools.

An organization’s most important asset is its people. SIB-K prioritises a People-First Approach.

Our Services

We are a neutral platform that works on different levels to speed up the transition to a sustainable, inclusive economy. We work with business, academia, civil society, and the government for an inclusive delivery of these services:
