Circular Futures was initiated by the environmental umbrella organisation Umweltdachverband in 2016 and is a collaboration of several organisations advocating for the transition to a circular economy in politics and legislation.

The platform carries out activities geared to developing a holistic circular economy in Austria. These include workshops, background papers and information material. It focuses on the political and legal framework needed for the transition to a circular economy.

It promotes discussion between stakeholder groups active in the environment, economy and social affairs and brings them to the table with representatives from politics, science and administration in order to jointly develop future-oriented solutions for a more circular Austria.
