Join Circular Ecology. An opportunity is available for an enthusiastic and dedicated Project Manager. This role will mainly involve managing the delivery of our Sustainability Consultancy projects, particularly whole life embodied carbon assessments. Primarily in the infrastructure and building sectors. We also undertake organisational GHG footprints, product carbon footprints, and full life cycle assessments in […]
As the world has moved towards hybrid and remote working, Circular Ecology asks the question, what are the carbon emissions of homeworking and office working? Of course, there are many variables to consider in the answer to that question, and so we will attempt to discuss them in this article. Considerations such as the size […]
Join Circular Ecology. An opportunity is available for an enthusiastic and dedicated sustainability professional. Working across multiple projects, predominantly assessing carbon footprints and LCA impacts of products, and the embodied carbon of buildings and infrastructure. You will have opportunities to work with progressive clients, helping them achieve measurable sustainability benefits. We are looking […]
The National Grid Electricity Systems Operator (National Grid ESO) has just released the 2023 Future Energy Scenarios document. The report breaks down how electricity demand and how the inputs to the grid will change over the coming years. Why is this important? The Future Energy Scenarios (FES) show how the impact of each kilowatt hour […]

The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) have just released the 2023 edition of conversion factors for calculating greenhouse gas emissions. The factors cover emissions from a wide range of activities including energy, transportation, water and waste disposal. What’s changed? Below you can see the Scope 2 emissions of the UK’s electricity […]
What’s the carbon footprint of a garden exhibition? Where are the carbon hotspots? We address these questions through a case study on last year’s Chelsea Flower Show. Circular Ecology worked with MEDITE SMARTPLY and its multi-award winning “Building the Future” garden, to undertake an innovative assessment of the installation’s carbon footprint. The headline installation showcased […]
In the wake of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Repot (AR6) and its findings, there is an urgent need to save as much carbon as possible, and immediately. In the Built Environment, to meet future national and international carbon reduction targets, there is an urgent need to improve the performance of existing buildings. This is because […]
Are the UK’s operational carbon reductions about to get a lot more challenging? In this article we will explore how the carbon impact of electricity is expected to change over the coming years. Many companies and individuals have relied on a greener National Grid for their operational emission reduction targets. However this is about to […]
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Sixth Assessment Report on 20 March 2023. While the report pictures a gloomy account of consequence of the climate change due to human activities, it outlines options and opportunities that can be taken now to reduce GHG emissions. The report concludes that recent temperature rises […]
