Circular Glasgow is an initiative of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce. It is a movement to inspire businesses of all sizes to innovate and become future-proof by adopting circular strategies. Connecting companies across the city, we help them to open up new revenue streams, increase competitive advantage and realise financial savings using a range of practical initiatives.
We aim to create a sustainable economy and a city with an enviable quality of life by inspiring businesses to assess and implement the circular economy in order to position Glasgow as a leading circular city.
A circular economy is one in which every product is created with the intent of extending its lifespan and adding value wherever possible through this process. It is a direct challenge to the current ‘take, make, dispose’ linear economy mentality.

Now in its third phase, Step Up to Net Zero is currently open for applications, supporting Glasgow SMEs in their efforts to reach net zero by funding five-month work placements who will help organisations take action towards net zero and circular goals. Fully funded by Glasgow City Council and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and delivered by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, this project aims to support the city’s net zero ambitions and provides employability support for Glasgow’s workforce.
