Partnership with Exeter University's Centre for Circular Economy Hub
We are delighted to be in partnership with the University of Exeter's Centre for Circular Economy. We collaborate with the faculty in exploring ways in which Wellington can enhance our own approach to sustainability, and play a leading role in doing the same within our local community.
It was a pleasure to produce this video Our Vision for a Sustainable Future which was shown at the Circular Economy Showcase Circular Economy Showcase, which took place in London this Wednesday.
This partnership, and our contribution to the Showcase, is something we can all be very proud of and we hope that our relationship with the faculty will grow and deepen over time.
