Join us for our August Circular Mixer, bringing together people from across sectors to swap ideas, share resources and accelerate Glasgow’s transition to a circular economy.

Our Circular Mixer series, hosted at Material Source Studio and in partnership with Harley Haddow, are a fantastic opportunity to engage with fellow business professionals and deepen your understanding of how the circular economy can contribute to business growth and support the city’s climate objectives.

Joining us as our August guest speaker is Izzie Eriksen, the founding Managing Director of ApparelXchange, a social circular enterprise based in Glasgow.  Focusing on school aged children’s clothing, Izzie’s visionary approach to solving economic, environmental and social problems has accumulated into a pioneering clothing system for a city model, which can be replicated across towns and cities. 

Prior to this she worked at WRAP and Zero Waste Scotland for over 12 years developing and delivering on policy interventions for DEFRA and Scottish Government. Concentrating on reuse, remanufacturing and towards the end of this period extended producer responsibility. 

Izzie’s career started in community development, recycling and composting education and as a graduate Zoologist is motivated to protect and conserve planet earth’s natural capital in such a way as to restore its habitats and improve biodiversity. 

Her is belief is that “knowledge is empowerment” and as such, people from a very young age can make informed consumer choices which reduce our impacts, slow down climate change and make the world a better place for all. 

This interactive event gives you a chance to hear from guest speakers who are experts in their fields, network with potential collaborators and turn ideas into action.
