Closing the Loop - Our Local Approach to the Circular Economy
ReRoute is our focused work on the circular economy. This brand captures all of our project that are designed by local people and businesses in Hackney Wick and Fish Island aimed at tackling climate change by coordinating local action and working together.
The project has involved over local people, local authorities, institutions and businesses all of whom already participate or want to participate in taking climate change.
As a programme coordinated by the Hackney Wick and Fish Island Community Development Trust (HWFI CDT), ReRoute’s proposal is to test, trial, scale and grow ideas and business initiatives that seek to reduce the amount of waste and emissions in the local area. How are we doing this? Check out our projects below…
