incommon is a non-profit organisation that encourages people to adopt the circular economy as a way of life. They use a bottom-up approach, working with individuals, schools, businesses, institutions, groups and local authorities.

Their Circular Neighborhood model offers a variety of solutions to make circular living accessible, practical and fun. Through community-focused activities that foster shared responsibility and strong partnerships with local authorities, this initiative uses the Inform-Involve-Engage methodology. It ensures that people are informed about circular economy principles and engaged in implementing them, enabling them to make sustainable choices and drive local change.

Circular Neighborhood empowers individuals, schools and local food and beverage businesses to adopt circular practices, such as sorting organic waste at source, composting, embracing the right to repair and optimising the use of resources, energy and water. By learning how to use organic bins properly, viewing waste as a resource and using the Library of Things and Repair Cafés, community members become key drivers of sustainable change. 

Interactive workshops and hands-on activities, an experience-based environmental education and awareness-raising events bring circular economy concepts to life. Together, they are building an informed and enthusiastic community that has access to shared tools, extends the life of products, learns valuable skills, maximises resource use and reduces waste.
