Circular Perspective is dedicated to systemic transformation. This transformation is based on the analysis of the changes that are needed in the societal and economic order for the well-being of the marginalised and health of the environment. Our work broadly covers three impact areas - Climate Resilience and Ecosystem Restoration, Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy, Secondary Materials Product Development and Testing and Training & Capacity Building, which circumscribe existing global and national challenges. Working under these areas, we implement solutions through the waste, construction, housing, water and renewable energy sectors for tangible outcomes.

Our Climate Resilience and Ecological Restoration Services

Climate change has emerged as the biggest threat to the livelihoods and food security for countries across the world. Namibia is particularly vulnerable to this and is likely to have varied impacts owing to its geographic diversity, stronger dependence on agriculture, and increasing exploitation of natural resources coupled with population growth and socio-economic challenges. Namibia’s geographic location does make it particularly vulnerable to climate changeIts arid to semi-arid climate, coupled with high temperatures and erratic rainfall, makes it susceptible to droughts, desertification, and water scarcity. The country’s location in the driest part of Africa, influenced by the cold Benguela current, contributes to its vulnerability.  For Namibia to meet its Nationally Determined Contributions committed to the Paris Agreement, all guidelines and frameworks in this context must be complemented with initiatives that are sufficient, efficient, equitable, and inclusive. These further need to be integrated with nature-based solutions to address the interconnected challenges of climate change, ecosystem degradation, biodiversity loss, and livelihood vulnerability.

01.

Dam & River Ecosystem Restoration

Climate Change Mitigation: Restoring rivers and floodplains can help reduce the impacts of extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts. Protection of Freshwater Ecosystems: Rivers are vital habitats, supporting a significant portion of the planet's freshwater species, making their health critical for global biodiversity. Economic and Social Benefits: Healthier rivers provide cleaner water, which is beneficial for human communities and agriculture, and can offer opportunities for recreation and tourism.

02.

Awareness, Action & Advocacy

Activities encompassing environmental awareness, action, and advocacy move from education and personal behavior to collective pressure for systemic change. Awareness builds knowledge and concern, action translates that concern into individual practice, and advocacy works to influence broader policy and institutional change

03.

Inclusive and Sustainable Farming Models

Biodiversity conservation: Promoting diversity on the farm through intercropping (planting multiple crops together), agroforestry (integrating trees into farming systems), and preserving natural habitats like hedgerows. Enhanced energy efficiency: Reducing reliance on fossil fuels by using renewable energy sources, such as solar power for irrigation and using farm waste to generate bioenergy. Reduced inputs: Minimizing the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides by adopting organic farming and integrated pest management (IPM) techniques. Soil health management: Building and maintaining healthy soil through techniques like cover cropping, composting, using organic amendments, and implementing reduced or no-tillage systems. Water conservation: Using water-efficient irrigation methods like drip irrigation, harvesting rainwater, and protecting watersheds to reduce runoff and pollution. Waste and nutrient recycling: Implementing a circular economy on the farm by composting organic waste and using animal manure as fertilizer

Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy

Inefficient conventional environmental management practices are one of the main causes of environmental degradation. Currently, inefficient resource utilisation contributes to enormous quantities of waste generation and carbon emissions because of our consumption and production patterns, right from extraction of raw materials till the product disposal stage. This linear ‘take–make–waste’ approach not only means a constant chain of natural resources utilisation but also leads to a huge economic burden of managing wastes. Circular Perspective drives economic opportunities in waste diversion and secondary material development.

Resource efficiency and circular economy are crucial for sustainable development, offering significant environmental, economic, and social benefits. They aim to minimize waste, reduce resource consumption and create a more sustainable and resilient economy.

Secondary Materials Product Development and Testing

Developing secondary materials markets is crucial for a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. These markets create value from materials that would otherwise be discarded, reducing the need for virgin material extraction and minimizing waste. This shift supports a circular economy, where materials are kept in use for as long as possible, reducing environmental impact and promoting economic growth. 

Developing robust secondary materials markets is vital for creating a more sustainable and circular economy. By maximizing the value of resources, minimizing waste, and promoting resource efficiency, these markets offer significant environmental and economic benefits. 

Our Working Process

01.

Consultation

We will set up an in-person or online consultation to understand the the clients project and needs better

02.

Proposal

We will once we understand the needs and objectives of the client., send a proposal to the client for their consideration.

03.

Installation

After acceptance of proposal and payment arrangements, we will install  or deliver whatever service or product was requested by the clients. 

04.

Inspection

Once services or products are supplied, delivered or installed, a full inspection and quality assurance excercise will be undertaken to make sure the client is satisfied with product/service and any issues will be addressed.

Here’s What Our Client Say About Us

“It is incredible to experience the reality of the green economy, climate change, inclusive growth and sustainability on the ground instead of just reading about it in newspaper articles and research papers. I am so grateful to Circular Perspective for inviting me to their interactive training workshops on resource efficiency and the circular economy in 2023. During the 3 day event, we were exposed to their participatory information and knowledge development models built for natural resource management and community resilience such as ecosystem restoration and mainstreaming of low carbon building materials."

Anna Van Zyl

Manager of Consulting Engineering Firm

We have saved 20% on building material cost and overall 30% savings in construction cost on our projects thanks to the low-carbon, cost effective building materials supplied by Circular Perspective"
