About the organisation
Circular Economy Asia (CEA) was originally incorporated in Victoria and will transition to a Company Limited by Guarantee. This will provide us with a more robust legal framework and be registered with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC).
Our geographical area of work is Australia and the Asian region. CEA is primarily interested in skills training, circular and sustainable supply chains and resource management via the development of a secondary raw materials industry.
The founder, Ms Zsakay, is an active participant in Cirpass2 and the UN Transparency Protocol, which is involved in the development of Digital Product Passports in the EU and around the world. Although CEA is currently small, Ms Zsakay brings a long-term vision for growth and delivery of impact projects that address resource management on a planet with finite resources.
