A Boutique Consultancy
At Circular Earth, we work with ambitious businesses in fashion, textiles, product, and interiors to design and embed circular strategies that go beyond sustainability unlocking resilience, relevance, and long-term value.
We are a boutique consultancy with deep systems thinking and practical industry expertise. From product innovation to business model redesign, we help you navigate the complex transition toward Real Circularity™ grounded, measurable, and future-fit.
The shift to circular business models will define the next era of commerce. We believe it must be approached not with generic fixes, but with intelligence, creativity, and precision.
Our work ensures you're not just reacting to change - you're leading it.
Circularity = More than the product
INTELLIGENT SOLUTIONS , ENDURING VALUE
Real Circularity™ is how we can design products, systems and business itself inspired by how nature works, so that waste is a thing of the past. Instead of throwing things away, circularity focuses on product evolution, regenerating materials, or safely returning them to nature. It’s about creating systems where resources are continually cycled.
Building healthier communities and a better planet, makes a win-win for both people and businesses. This approach isn’t just good for the environment - it’s smart business. By reducing costs, strengthening customer relationships, and helping companies adapt to change, we focus on creating lasting VALUE with businesses.
We work on the BUSINESS application of circularity just as much as we do the PRODUCT.
We apply real Circularity principles to fashion & product based businesses to increase brand longevity, profitability and for a business that is FIT FOR THE FUTURE.

They understood instantly my brand and situation and helped me solve lots of issues. Showing dedication to my project and availability given my very tight deadlines.

I would definitely recommend her.''- Katheline Vandal, 'Vandal Kids'
