Dietmar Böhm, Member of the Board of Management at PreZero

The world is transforming from a linear to a circular economy. As an environmental service provider and waste management company of the Schwarz Group, we want to make our contribution to this transformation. CIRCULAR REPUBLIC is an inspiring community where, together with like-minded partners, we develop innovative solutions and translate them into concrete initiatives.

Inge Hofkens, COO Multimetal Recycling at Aurubis

We are proud to drive innovation together with CIRCULAR REPUBLIC, as we at Aurubis are constantly exploring more sustainable ways and growth opportunities to create value. The exchange and idea sharing with the inspiring network partners support us in our pursuit to close loops and to think of new ways to develop the economy, from a linear to a circular one.

Dr. Joachim Post, Member of the Board of Management at BMW AG, Purchasing and Supplier Network

Reducing resource consumption is a primary target of ours. Next to increased use of secondary materials, innovative approaches play a key role, for example together with CIRCULAR REPUBLIC in joint projects with other industry players and start-ups.

Patrick Zahn, CEO at KiK Textilien und Non-Food GmbH

Our involvement in CIRCULAR REPUBLIC aims at extending the lifespan of textiles and facilitating their recycling. In a pilot project, we're collaborating with CIRCULAR REPUBLIC to find ways to repurpose damaged or unsold stock through resale or recycling. This enables us to close the loop on many of our textiles.
