We Are CIL
Circular Innovation Lab (CIL) is a global think tank driving the transition to a circular economy. We support governments, regulators, and UN agencies in designing actionable strategies for sustainable transformation. By combining deep expertise in policy, strategy, and data research, CIL accelerates the adoption of circular practices worldwide.
Our purpose is to turn ambition into measurable impact. We offer a unique mix of tailored research, practical tools, national roadmaps, and capacity-building programs. With advanced modelling and indicator-based tools, we enable stakeholders to measure outcomes, test scenarios, and make informed decisions with confidence. By bridging strategy, data, and hands-on support, CIL empowers partners to implement circular solutions effectively.
Our Approach to the Circular Economy
With a strong track record in policy design and systems innovation, CIL delivers solutions across areas such as national circular economy strategies, circular business models, and sustainable consumption and production. Our projects focus on helping countries and organizations translate circular visions into tangible actions through data-driven roadmaps and implementation pathways.
We believe in combining knowledge with practice. Through workshops and training, we build capacity in circular economy principles, policy frameworks, and business innovations like product-as-a-service. By collaborating with international agencies, national governments, and businesses, we strengthen skills, scale solutions, and accelerate systemic change.
