IDEAS FOR GOOD Circular Economy for Biodiversity Prize

While regenerating nature is one of circularity’s core principles, the relationship between the circular economy and biodiversity has yet to be fully debated. It is increasingly important to consider how businesses can contribute to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity. Symbeeosis® is an innovative and creative idea that ​​repurposes candles, a human product, as bee houses, revealing new possibilities for the circular economy and biodiversity. I felt this represents part of a regenerative urban vision in which the more candles we buy, the more bees our urban areas can support, and the more our urban ecosystem will be regenerated. I also love how the product goes beyond human-centred design with a scent that appeals to both bees and people, and how it adheres to circular economy principles in the details, such as biodegradable materials and seed paper in the packaging.
