Vision and mission
CEP promotes the transition to a circular economy in Portugal, specifically by sharing knowledge and developing projects about waste prevention, reuse and repair. All our projects are based on social innovation and collaborative action. Furthermore, we support and inspire public and private entities with the implementation of circular principles in practice. This way we contribute to a society without waste, while creating value for society and the environment.
This way we contribute to a society without waste, while creating value for society and the environment. The transition to a circular economy is a systemic change:
- from waste to recovery
- from fossil to renewable
- from planned obsolescence to eco-design
- from landfill/incineration to reuse
- from exclusion to sharing
- from global to local markets
- from monoculture to (bio)diversity
- from theory to action!
The only way out of the socio-environmental crisis is a paradigm shift
Team
CEP´s interdisciplinary team is composed of dedicated professionals with extensive experience in the field of circular economy, sustainability and project management.
