Abstract

SMEs in South Wales are increasingly adopting circular economy (CE) practices, such as repair, reuse, and recycling, driven by Welsh government goals to move away from linear "take-make-waste" models. Key practices include reducing waste, improving resource efficiency, utilizing recycled materials, and designing products for longevity. Support from initiatives like the Circular Economy Fund helps businesses shift to sustainable, low-carbon, and regenerative models.
