As GRIPE, we believe that working towards a circular economy requires collaborative efforts to allow for co-creation of solutions therefore we are committed to building sustainable and solid partnerships with a range of organizations. It is for this reason that we have decided to become a member of PREVENT.
To us a circular economy is a system that moves away from the current make-use-dispose model to one where we have designed out waste and pollution, are able to keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. A circular economy is not a nice to have but a necessity if we are going to develop sustainably. Since the launch of GRIPE, we have been following national, regional and international discussions on how to move towards a more circular economy. As manufacturers and producers, we are constantly adapting the way that our products are being designed, produced and transported to allow for an increase in packaging re-design, reuse and recycling
