“I met the people from Circular Computing™ recently and I believe that what they are doing is an angle shift that, a few years down the line, will result in “a new normal”. The road to a true self-sustainable circular economy is a long one but progress is made by innovative individuals and companies taking steps that change the habits of the rest of us. Circular has identified what should be done and has acquired the skills to do it. I wish them nothing but great success, as we will all benefit.”
