Abstract

We are currently in a linear, extractive economy which has led to environmental and wellbeing degradation. Transition to a circular economy has become the vehicle that many government strategies employ to address an unsustainable paradigm. Joint cross sector work needs to be carried out that will help form an Aotearoa specific set of principles and expression of what a circular economy looks like. Local government should engage in projects that will allow understanding to develop in how to contribute to a transition meaningfully and effectively to a circular economy.
