Your partner
through transitioning
to the Circular Economy
What We Do
Technology alone is not enough to achieve the transition to the Circular Economy. We help you to reduce, remove or avoid GHG emissions while increasing ROI and meeting societal goals. If you are an organisation willing to make better use of assets and resources to reinforce your sustainable competitiveness and attract new clients and key partners, scroll down and see what we do.
Sustainability strategy
We explore strategic options and enable the integration of sustainability factors in your business model. Based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals we create KPIs to monitor performance and track progress. We analyse your ESG context to identify risks and opportunities and develop an ESG Action Plan. If you haven't found your Sustainability Officer yet, just get in touch!
Circularity assessment
With the use of various tools and methods we help you get a clear understanding about how resources, products and waste are managed throughout your supply chain/network. The purpose of circularity assessment is to enable you to embed circularity in your company's culture, as well as to encourage key actors of your supply network to contribute to circular economy goals.
Innovation consulting
We support the development, uptake and marketability of sustainable products, services, processes and solutions. We help startups to prepare proposals and participate in business innovation competitions for fundraising and awards. We create synergies among business, technology and research partners.
Research projects
We participate in research projects on a national and international level. We conduct strategic research for EU projects focused on Research & Innovation Actions allowing for the exploration or improvement of new technologies and methods. The aim is to produce valuable insights, replicable findings and to contribute to knowledge dissemination.
Supporting Partner
We support the Hubs4Circularity under the Horizon Europe Programme for the establishment of a European Community of Practice. Our aim is to contribute to the project's vision by giving advice to the consortium and supporting project activities towards the dissemination of circularity opportunities across Europe.

Urban Camel stands as a metaphor to express how by mimicking natural ecosystems in the way living organisms interact and manage resources, business eco-systems can build resilience and longevity.
We act as a link between technical and business departments and help companies to reduce, remove or avoid GHG emissions while increasing ROI and meeting societal goals. How? By exploring strategic options to enable the integration of sustainability factors in your business model that foster resource optimisation, improvement of environmental capabilities, risk reduction and control, new forms of creating value, and societal benefits.
Furthermore, we support the development, uptake and marketability of sustainable products, services, and solutions. We also participate in research projects on a national and EU level and conduct strategic research for the exploration or improvement of new technologies and methods.
We work across industries, while our area of expertise is in the Water-Food-Energy nexus and the Blue Growth, the long-term strategy to support sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors.
We always remain open to new synergies and the expansion of our network of international partners and domain experts to work together towards common goals. In association with Oakdene Hollins, experts in science-led research and value-driven consulting for the circular economy, we operate and offer services from offices in London.
The road towards a sustainable future is circular!
