Circular 360 is now delivering the 4th Global Leadership Program in Circular Economy. A niche leadership program focusing on experiential learning and actions.
Adelaide, South Australia, is increasingly recognised as a leader in circular economy initiatives. This leadership program provides the chance to see these first-hand, develop your knowledge and deepen your understanding based on proven successes.
More than 84% of the state’s waste is diverted from landfill
31% of waste water generated in south Australia is recycled
Nearly 8GL of stormwater is harvested per year for reuse
68% of south Australia’s energy comes from renewable sources
This is a key exercise in the leadership program. Building upon your learning of the leadership program, you will formulate your own circular economy strategy and implementation plan related to your organisation and your area of work/influence.
Presentations by experts who are internationally recognised as thought-leaders in the circular economy.
Site tours and on-site presentations demonstrating circular economy practices.
Networking with practitioners, solution providers, policy makers, experts and educators in the circular economy.
Case study presentations, analysis and discussion
Peer discussions and problem-solving sessions
Formulating a personal action plan.
Tailored for experienced professionals, public sector managers, academics, and business and industry leaders from diverse backgrounds who are involved in sustainability, urban planning, industrial efficiency, renewable energy, and waste and water resource management.
Experience world-class site visits within or near the Adelaide metropolitan area.
The learning program also includes expert presentations.
The state of South Australia is a shining light in Australia’s circular economy. It continues to lead the nation with initiatives such as container deposit legislation; bans on single use plastic bags; high-performance kerbside waste collection/recycling systems; wastewater reuse and recycling; industrial resource efficiency; collections of hazardous waste; wind and solar energy development; and stormwater harvesting.
Victoria can learn from South Australia’s boldness. The program is an eye opener showing how the interaction between industry, government and the community is driving change in the circular economy.

Ian Harvey, Director Strategy and Policy
A world-class estate with resource recovery and waste recycling operations on a common 94ha site. The site hosts four independent companies that provide a ‘one stop shop’ for waste receipt, processing and recycling by accommodating complementary resource recovery activities: Adelaide Resource Recovery, Orora, Jeffries Group and Cleanaway, which accept paper and cardboard, plastic, construction and demolition materials, green waste and residual waste. Residual waste is hauled away to modern, well- engineered disposal sites. Also located in the precinct is a waste education centre for school and community groups operated by KESAB environmental solutions, a non-government organisation.

Stephen Scherer, General Manager, Recycling Plastics Australia
RPA is investing $12.5 million in the acquisition and commissioning of multiple elements of advanced manufacturing plant and equipment. When integrated, the plant and equipment will create a new global state-of-the-art rigid plastic waste sorting and recycling facility capable of converting waste plastic into high quality polymer pellets of varying formulations for local and export consumption.

Ryan Lokan, Chief Executive Officer, Advanced Plastic Recycling
A manufacturer and designer of wood composite products across a wide range of industries for local and international markets. APR can manufacture a virtually limitless range of products, in large or small quantities, and at sizes to suit individual needs. That means pretty well any combination of length, breadth, depth and form factor. All are created at the company’s plant in Adelaide from household, commercial and industrial post-consumer waste that would otherwise be diverted to landfill.
In the first stage of the process, all suitable waste is processed into pellets, which are compounded with 100% recycled waste wood. The compounded material is then continuously extruded through a die-cut profile into almost any required shape and form factor. The material, now WPC, is cooled with water – which is continuously reused. The finished product is then automatically machine cut to lengths of up to six metres, or more on request.

South Australia is the driest state in the driest continent. The necessity to conserve water has driven the state to become a global leader in wastewater reuse and recycling. SA Water’s Bolivar-Virginia Pipeline Scheme is a successful wastewater reuse project comprising a 142km network supplying Class A recycled water from the Bolivar sewage treatment works to the Adelaide Plains for use in irrigated agriculture and horticulture. The Northern Adelaide Irrigation Scheme (NAIS) will increase production of recycled irrigation water by 60%, providing up to 20GL of treated, climate and season independent water to the farm gate, from 2019. This will help achieve growth in agricultural industries through increased access to water resources.
Salisbury Water’s Parafield stormwater harvesting, storage and reuse scheme is one of the world’s largest urban stormwater capture, reuse and aquifer recharge schemes, supplying recycled non-potable water to industries, households and parks and gardens.
South Australia has world-class renewable energy sources including wind, solar, geothermal, wave and pumped hydroelectric. 68% of the state’s energy comes from renewable resources and this figure is targeted to reach 100% by 2028. Focus areas include:
This is one of the best immersion leadership programs in the world focussing on experiential learning. It is an inspiring and motivational program and a must for senior leaders from every sector.
Building leadership capacity in the circular economy is of utmost importance in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development goals. This was one of the key commitments of the Adelaide Declaration on the Circular Economy agreed at the Seventh Regional 3R Forum in Asia and the Pacific. The global leadership program is an essential step in this direction.
It is amazing to engage with leaders from various countries and to see the incredible projects in the circular economy in practice. Also, we are an international organisation and to get a global perspective and understanding in circular economy is most beneficial.
The program is an eye opener, and the experience will inspire us to drive changes back in our own communities.
Victoria can learn from South Australia’s boldness.
