WRAP

We are a global environmental action NGO transforming our product and food systems to create Circular Living. For over twenty years, we've delivered programs that reduce CO2 and waste, restore nature, and change people’s behaviour. We're on the side of the doers, bringing together businesses, NGOs and governments to create the systemic change our planet and communities desperately need. Join us in leading the way to #CircularLiving. https://www.wrap.ngo

Food, textiles and manufactured products account for nearly 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions. We need a new approach. We call this approach Circular Living. Circular Living means changing from our current take-make-dispose approach to a design-make-reuse approach — to radically reduce waste and carbon emissions from everyday products. Making #CircularLiving commonplace means examining sustainability challenges through the lens of people’s day-to-day lives and transforming the systems around them. Our citizen campaigns #LoveFoodHateWaste, #RecycleNow and #BeMightyRecycle! help individuals with practical solutions and techniques to reduce our environmental impact and embed Circular Living in our homes.

Delighted to attend and speak at The Circular Economy Hotspot in Wales, this week. Inspiring to hear about community repair shops and libraries of things taking off in Wales in line with the Well-Being of Future Generations Act (2015) from Huw Irranca-Davies, and Derek Walker. Heartening to hear references to the work of WRAP with Welsh Government and local authorities to help get Wales to second best country for recycling in the world. WRAP's mission is to embed Circular Living in every board room and every home. I reflected on which 5 things are essential for businesses to be a part of the future: not just to exist, but to really contribute to a sustainable economy. 1.   Root strategy in the context of a regenerative and net zero destination which is defined in law in many countries. Work backwards to define sources of competitiveness (serving customers better) and sustainability delivery plans. These need to be part of the same holistic strategy. Align the KPIs across teams and departments to deliver both. 2.    Set out to disconnect value creation from material consumption: it's a game-changer. Efficiency and Ecology will go hand in hand, but investment in an upgrade in design capability is critical. 3.    Pre-competitive collaboration up and down the supply chain can be key to realising systemic change and address market failures - supported by governments with well-targeted regulation to prevent first mover disadvantage. 4.    Sustainable procurement is not just essential for commercial organisations, it can make a massive impact to governments and public organisations too, and catalyse the economy. 5.    Reframing what’s desirable and "normal" for citizens or customers will be instrumental in accelerating competitiveness and Circular Living. Marketing behaviour change is another key capability to build. We discuss this in our book, Sustainable Advertising.

We joined businesses from across Europe at the Circular Economy Hotspot, #HotspotCymru2024, to discuss the importance of circular principles and practices - sharing ideas, learnings, and best practice to inspire the drive towards a circular future. Our CEO, Harriet Lamb, opened a networking event we co-hosted with CEIC Wales. She also met with Huw Irranca-Davies MS, Deputy First Minister of Wales and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, at our stand in the exhibitor hall. Our Chair, Sebastian Munden, took part in the Growing the Circular and Green Economy panel, discussing the circular economy in Wales and internationally. He reflected on what businesses need to contribute to a sustainable economy. Our Senior Campaign Managers, Angela Spiteri and Jackie Bailey ran a session on ‘Encouraging Circular Living Behaviours in Wales and Across the Globe’. And we also supported the delivery of breakout sessions on repair and re-use, sustainable / circular public procurement, and Circular Living Standards. Only through #CollaborativeAction can we achieve #CircularLiving. Let's make Circular Living commonplace. More from less.

We're proud to be among the organisations that nominated Build up Nepal for this year's prize. 1 million homes have been destroyed by floods and earthquakes in Nepal over the past decade. Rebuilding these homes is costly and the environmental impact is significant. Build up Nepal provides a sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon alternative to traditional clay-fired bricks, helping communities live safely in affordable, resilient homes.
