September has come and gone, soon the leaves will start to fall and return to the soil in a process that can only be described as circular!

It has been a great change of season for repair in Ireland, with the big news being the transposition of the Right to Repair directive into Irish law! Alongside this, new national research finds Irish people may be more ‘circular’ than they realise, the Circular Economy Innovation Grant Scheme has launched, the drinking fountain network has expanded encouraging refills, and a new paint reuse initiative has made a splash in Kerry.

Further afield, we have seen positive news from jeans genies Levi Strauss, who will now be delving into the world of repair. This month has seen the beginning of a new circular construction hub in New York City, and we take a look at the incredible work of Cercle Zero in Barcelona.

Dive in and join us for this month’s journey through circularity! Including jobs, events, funding, and even more circular opportunities.
