At The Full Circle Collective, our mission is to help empower individuals and communities to have a positive environmental impact through small scale environmental action; and to champion the circular economy through resource recovery, repair and reuse.
How are we achieving this?
We are an environmental charity that works with individuals, schools, organisations, and governments on a variety of sustainable initiatives, so that communities can reclaim their power, reduce the environmental overwhelm, and make small changes that, when combined, make a big impact!
To help support our mission, we operate a vibrant not-for-profit circular economy retail and community space at 437 Hunter Street Newcastle.
This space supports social enterprises, local businesses, community organisations, and makers with a shared ethos to create a sustainable future by championing the principles of the circular economy through resource recovery, repair and reuse.
