Zusammenfassung:Circular economy solutions have the potential to address pollution, the climate crisis, health and livelihoods, and inequality. Circulate Capital was launched in 2018 to invest in solutions for the ocean plastic crisis in South and Southeast Asia, and has since broadened its investment focus to plastics circularity, including disruptive innovations across value chains, throughout high-growth markets globally. It partners with global brands and institutional investors and leverages development finance to transform circular plastic supply chains at scale. This article outlines the steps that Circulate Capital takes and which investors might consider to effectively mobilise capital at scale for ecological transformation and positive impact.
