King Charles launched the nationwide circularity initiative for businesses at the Renew Hub in Greater Manchester.<\/h4>\n

Circularity in Practice is a voluntary initiative for businesses inspired by the King, with signatories including Tata Steel UK, SUEZ, and the British Chambers of Commerce.<\/p>\n

Signatories pledge to embrace the circular practices of reuse, remanufacturing and recycling.<\/p>\n

The initiative is aimed towards developers, contractors, manufacturers, construction companies, occupiers and landlords, designers and architects, waste management companies, professional bodies, and community groups.<\/p>\n

Circularity in Practice says the first signatories will promote education, share best practice, encourage cross-sector collaboration, and spotlight commercially viable models.<\/p>\n

SUEZ hosted the launch event for the initiative at the Renew Hub in Greater Manchester<\/a>, the UK\u2019s largest reuse and repair facility, which it operates on behalf of Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).<\/p>\n

Since 2021, the Renew Hub has sold just under half a million items through the network in Greater Manchester and donated \u00a31.6million raised through those sales to charity.<\/p>\n

King Charles visited the hub as part of the launch event and toured the facility with John Scanlon, EVP UK for SUEZ.<\/p>\n

The launch was also attended by over 150 business leaders who have since signed up to the Circularity in Practice pledge.<\/p>\n

John Scanlon, Executive Vice President UK, SUEZ, said:\u00a0\u201cDriving resource efficiency to preserve Earth\u2019s finite, natural resources is a core mission for SUEZ and a huge passion for me personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur throw-away, linear economy is unsustainable, and the debate is now over as to why we need to increase the circularity of materials, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to discuss how we are addressing this challenge with His Majesty The King.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manchester mayor Andy Burnham recently criticised the Duchy of Lancaster<\/a>, the King\u2019s private estate, for what he called a failure to support the clean-up of a large-scale illegal waste site<\/a> spread across land owned by the Duchy and Wigan Council.<\/p>\n
