Building social value through circular innovation in education

• Across the UK, education providers are rethinking what sustainability looks like and discovering that circular innovation can unlock far more than operational efficiencies.

   

  Today, leading schools, colleges, and universities are using waste streams as a foundation for learning experiences, community engagement, and skills development that prepare students for a greener future.

   

  At SUEZ, we’re working with schools, colleges, and universities to turn everyday materials into meaningful learning experiences. Through collaborations with PickerPals, Team Repair, and ReTech, students are engaging with real sustainability challenges - from repairing digital tech to rethinking how materials stay in the value chain.

   

  Across universities, circular design competitions, innovation challenges, and hands on activities are helping students become confident green ambassadors ready to lead future change.

   

  Join our webinar to explore how education institutions are embedding circular economy principles into their curriculum, campus operations, and community partnerships and how these approaches generate measurable social value.

   

  We’ll cover:

  • Circular learning pathways - how waste materials become tools for STEM, design, and sustainability education.
  • Partnership‑powered programmes - engaging students through PickerPals litter missions, Team Repair workshops, and ReTech’s secure digital‑tech reuse.
  • Beyond collections - building circularity into procurement, estates, and student‑led initiatives.
  • Campus innovation - competitions, design challenges, and EfW site visits that connect theory with real‑world impact.
  • Plus much more.
