About Us - Circular Economy Portugal

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
