A PUBLIC ACCESS CIRCULAR ECONOMY MAP

---

The Circular Symbiosis Map is based on the Butterfly Diagram by Ellen McArthur Foundation, which states the continuous flow of materials in two cycles: the technical and biological. The technical cycle involves keeping products and materials in use through reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling, while the biological cycle returns nutrients from biodegradable materials to the Earth to support natural regeneration.

These are all the items that are part of our platform and they represent the different transformation steps of the waste in question. Types, refers to the broad category of the waste (mechanical or organic).  Categories, reflects where the waste comes from. We offer over 20 categories that range from animals to plastic.  Source is the waste itself, before any kind of transformation. Materials, is the waste after its first transformation, and subproduct, is the waste after a second transformation leading to a final commercial product.  

The aim of this platform   is to create the largest subproducts to usage repository. The   goal is to help individuals or commercial projects identify circular economy   opportunities in the most simple and accessible way, without any upfront   costs or having to do too much research.

The data is free to access and use for   personal or commercial purpose. To start a business project with   the map´s data, you can book a meeting with us to help you establish a   business case projection using the map’s data.

If you want to learn more about the   transformation steps, you can start by looking up different existing   projects online and can always book a free meeting with us to   help establish a plan.

Many of the materials are available in   most of the countries. We encourage to buy, and use wasted materials,   through second hand redistribution stores, marketplace local platforms or   directly with the place producing the waste you want to use for your project.

We help you convert your ideas into a   feasible project. If you want more information, book a free meeting with us   so we can walk you through the process of making a business case, scenario,   timeline and costs model. 

You can contribute to our map, by   making materials to usages suggestions. Please select the form’s Contribution   option, and share your ideas by adding the appropriate fields the information   for the material, subproduct and usage. See the tutorial to that effect.

We welcome the possibility to showcase   related services that can help individuals and commercial projects to take   shape.
