Victorian Circular Activator:
Advancing Circularity
Victorian Circular Activator is a partnership between RMIT, RMIT Activator, Swinburne University, Circular Economy Victoria and Australia Circular Economy Hub, funded by Sustainability Victoria.
​
We believe that high-impact partnerships are crucial to achieving long-term and sustainable change and represent the collaborative action so needed for a circular transition.
We are looking for partners to take action with us in one or all of the phases outlined in the Impact Activation framework.

Research themes and reports
Each partnering organisation regularly reports on their contribution to the Victorian Circular Activator, capturing the input and outcomes of their circular activities throughout the year.
​
The reports are made public for your consideration, to show how circularity is being embedded into higher education and industry. We invite you to share the results and use the findings in your own work.
