EcoPack SA Lumina Textiles GreenBuild CapeCycle
“The waste stream audit gave us a clear picture of where we were leaking value. Within three months we cut landfill waste by 34% and recovered usable materials we didn’t even know we had.”

Thandi Nkosi

Sustainability Lead, EcoPack SA

“Their circular design workshop changed how our product team thinks about material choices. We’re now prototyping a modular furniture line that can be fully disassembled and recycled.”

Johan Botha

Head of Product, Lumina Textiles

“Aligning our suppliers around circularity felt overwhelming until InterwovenCircularity facilitated the scorecard and summit. Now three of our key partners have committed to take-back programs.”

Lindiwe Mthembu

Supply Chain Director, GreenBuild

“Circularity isn’t a trend — it’s the only way forward for African industry.”

Frequently asked questions

What does a waste stream audit typically involve? +

Our team visits your site to sort and measure every waste output by type, volume, and disposal method. We then map the full lifecycle of each stream, identify contamination points, and deliver a report with reduction targets and recycling opportunities.

How long does a circular product design workshop take? +

The core workshop runs over two full days. We work directly with your design, engineering, and sustainability teams to challenge existing assumptions and develop modular, reusable concepts. You leave with a prioritised action plan and prototype ideas ready for testing.

Do you work with small and medium‑sized businesses? +

Yes. Our services scale to fit the size and complexity of your operation. Whether you run a single facility or a multi‑site enterprise, we tailor the audit, workshop, or supplier alignment to your budget and capacity.

What kind of suppliers do you assess in a sustainability alignment? +

We evaluate all direct material suppliers and key logistics partners. The scorecard covers environmental impact, material sourcing ethics, labour practices, and each supplier’s readiness to adopt circular principles. We then facilitate a summit to align on shared goals.

How do you measure success after a circularity engagement? +

We set clear baseline metrics during the audit phase — waste volume, recycling rate, material cost — and then track changes after implementation. Typical targets include a 30–50% reduction in landfill waste and measurable improvements in material recovery within the first year.
