As the world transitions away from a wasteful, extractive economy, circular business models are emerging as the key to building a more sustainable and resilient future. But what does it take to design a successful circular business? How do circular startups stand out against traditional, linear competitors? And what impact do they create for people and the planet?

Boomerang Labs and Leila Alem invite you to a thought-provoking session during Sydney Climate Action Week, where we will explore how businesses are integrating circular economy principles to drive innovation, reduce waste, and unlock new market opportunities.

We'll hear from Tom Field and Ritchie Djamhur, two circular startup founders who will share their journeys to launch and scale their businesses. Tom and Ritchie will discuss the challenges and opportunities of creating solutions that regenerate resources, extend product lifecycles, and create measurable environmental and economic benefits.

The second half of the event will be a facilitated workshop led by Caitlyn Touzell and Leila Alem. Attendees will work in small groups to analyse real-world circular business case studies and explore the circular opportunities for their own organisations to thrive. The workshop will include group discussions and exercises to:

Identify the value proposition of each business and how it differs from linear competitors.
Assess the efficiency and competitiveness of the circular model in terms of market demand, cost-effectiveness, and scalability.
Explore the social and environmental impact, measuring how these businesses contribute to sustainability, climate action, and economic resilience.

This session is designed to be highly interactive, offering hands-on learning opportunities for entrepreneurs, sustainability professionals, and business leaders. Whether you're already working in the circular economy or looking for ways to integrate sustainability into your business strategy, this event will provide actionable insights and a deeper understanding of circular innovation.

Join us to connect with like-minded changemakers and discover how circular solutions can drive long-term success in a climate-conscious world. Drinks and pizza will be provided after the event.
