In consideration of this, the Authority are keen to explore opportunities to develop our re-use scheme further, as well as understand the different types of business models available. Therefore, should your Organisation have experience with management of a re-use scheme which maximises the principles of circular economy, adds social value to the local community and generates income, please contact bethany.gray [at] essex.gov.uk with a brief summary of the services that your organisation provides by 12pm on 27th October 2023.
