A perspective on the Circular Economy

What is a Circular Economy?

There are different definitions and points of view which however share some core principles. By watching the above video, an interview with Miriam Gilbert, the point of view of a practitioner working for a consultancy firm is explained.

As founder and director of Coincidencity, she is a business professional with over 19 years’ experience in organisational structuring, change and transformation. She trained with PricewaterhouseCoopers as a chartered accountant, which gave her a great insight into how organisations work. Following her qualification she spent some time working with Financial Services organisations, as well as with major project consultancies, transport agencies, construction firms and educational establishments.

Talking point

• Based on the definition of the circular economy that Miriam gives, try to list three aspects that the circular economy has in common with the strategies for product returns management that we have seen and one innovative aspect.
