Welcome to Sustainability Victoria’s foundational course - **What is a Circular Economy**. Thank for joining the growing number of organisations, businesses and governments that are looking to start their journey towards a circular economy.

This short course is the first in a three-part Circular Economy 101 series, and is intended to give you the foundational knowledge and understanding needed to start addressing circularity in your organisation. The transition to a circular economy represents a systemic shift with wide-reaching impacts.

You'll learn what a circular economy is, how it differs from our more traditional, linear economy. You’ll also learn about the environmental and economic benefits that come with this economic transition.
