## Description

Transitioning to a circular economy is a vital component of delivering sustained improvements to the environment, economy, and society\. Moving towards circularity provides a solid foundation for us to achieve our Net Zero commitments, increase our resource efficiency, maximise our resources and minimise our waste\. The current project will lead the development of a data observatory, apply hard and soft systems to the output of said data observatory, and ensure its outputs are disseminated across relevant stakeholders
