Going Circular training for businesses: uncover the hidden potential of circular economy
Our Going Circular training program helps local businesses to Uncover the Hidden Potential of Circular Economy through upskilling, networking and supportive consultation.
Introducing the Glen Eira Circular Business Network
With the latest instalment of our Going Circular training program now concluded, we’ve taken a moment to look back at the success of the program. Across three cohorts, we now have a group of 30 local business leaders, all working to make Glen Eira more sustainable. With a newfound understanding of the circular economy, the group wants to share their knowledge, support each other, and stay connected.
That’s why we’re establishing the Glen Eira Circular Business Network.
As a series of regular networking events and an accompanying Facebook group, the Network will provide a platform for businesses that want to connect and share their expertise.
If you are interested to join the network, please email our Sustainable Business Specialist at sustainablebusiness@gleneira.vic.gov.au
All local businesses are welcome.
The success of our Going Circular program
Hear from some of our previous program participants:
Alishia Smart — Alexander Jayne Hairstylist
"Attending the Circular Economy Training with Glen Eira Council was a transformative experience that opened my eyes to new possibilities and empowered me to make meaningful changes in my business and community.
Throughout the training, I was impressed by the council's commitment to fostering environmental stewardship and promoting innovative solutions to address pressing global challenges.
As I reflect on my experience, I am grateful for the invaluable knowledge and skills that I gained from the Circular Economy Training.
Armed with a newfound sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of sustainable practices, I am confident in my ability to effect meaningful change and contribute to building a more sustainable future for generations to come. Thank you, Glen Eira Council, for this empowering opportunity!"

“I thought I ran a fairly sustainable practice, but the Going Circular Training course opened my eyes to new ways of seeing what being Sustainable means.
I feel like it was a great re-boot and opportunity to think about how my micro business could do better in this space. I highly recommend the course.”
