About Irene

Irene Pollak, Chair of Circular Economy FNQ speaks and writes passionately on the Circular Economy space in Far North Queensland.

Irene will take students back to the basics and enable a clear understanding of the Circular economy, what we have been doing wrong and how we can adopt measures into our daily lives to contribute to a better future.

‘When we knew who made what we consumed and knew their story and had a trusted source to tell us the supply chain we made clear ethical choices in our purchases, but it hasn’t been transparent for a while which is why we have lulled ourselves in buying more but at a poorer quality. If everyone bought better and less we would have a new old style economy of thriving makers and upcyclers because good quality comes from quality makers, better resources and a little automation, that’s how it is economical.

Irene’s vision is to build on what is working, fill gaps, empower people outside our region to do the same because we have a roadmap built with data and a distributive framework that will work if you have the same waste challenges as Cairns.

‘Proudly supported by the Advance Queensland initiative.’
