We are delighted to be collaborating with four other excellent institutions to help countries around the world achieve the UN sustainable development goals, by developing the environmental and economic opportunities that the circular economy offers.

This is real recognition of the UK’s global leadership in sustainable resource management and testament to Britain’s world-leading academic expertise.  

We are delighted to host this centre, enabling our cutting-edge UK academics to develop the tools and research that will help countries across the world seize the opportunities of the circular economy, leading the way in the transition to a greener future.

Making the use of our resources more sustainable and moving towards a circular economy is fundamental to sustainable development and climate action. Partnerships mobilising international expertise play an important role in UN cooperation to develop and share best practices. I welcome the establishment of this new Centre of Excellence, with its focus on circularity of metals, construction and critical raw materials.
