We’re practitioners, not just educators.

Every Cirque du Soil facilitator runs circular economy programs and projects in the real world — from film set waste diversion to community composting hubs to council transformation programs. That hands-on experience shapes how we teach, making our programs grounded in reality rather than theory.

Context-aligned by default.

We tailor every program to your industry, goals, and constraints — whether that's curriculum alignment for schools or operational integration for businesses.

Impact measured, not assumed.

Monitoring and evaluation learning (MEL) frameworks, post-program surveys, and concrete data on learning outcomes and behavior change.

Place-based and borderless.

We start with your local context and material flows, systems in place then connect to global circular economy networks and best practices.

Certified social enterprise.

When you work with us, you're supporting a mission-driven organization reinvesting in circular economy education and community programs.

What people say…

"The Cirque du Soil team have very engaging presenters and adapted their program to our cohorts’ needs. I appreciated the pre-session meeting we had as well so we could prepare our students".
School EducatorBlackburn English Learning School
"The facilitation was fantastic, Jean and Stephen are a wealth of knowledge and experience and bring a very genuine, open-minded and approachable attitude to their facilitation. I really enjoyed the activities we did and felt that the space was perfect for what we were doing. It was great to have a slightly smaller group in order to have the time to hear from everyone and what brought them to the workshop. I only wish we'd had more time to learn more!"
ISOBEL BOBBERACircular Transitions Leadership Workshop participant

Our soft plastics program is live!

Do something drastic & cut the plastic. Single-use plastic food packaging is a major contributor to the global solid waste problem. Although the food industry is developing strategies to reduce single-use plastic packaging, we need to better understand consumer awareness and attitudes about the issue.

When you toss a plastic bottle into your recycling bin, there’s no guarantee it actually gets recycled. In fact, odds are, it doesn’t. 

This is one of our key priority streams, where by using the same containers, in the same form, over and over again – it eases demand for virgin materials, reduces energy needed to spit out thousands of new plastic bottles or cardboard boxes, and prevents heaps of trash from ending up in landfills or oceans.

They’re bulky, large in size and consumes large amounts of space.

We use paper and cardboard in so much packaging and stacks of it still ends up in landfill, resulting in stacks of methane production, a major greenhouse gas.

When when you recycle cardboard waste and keep it free of oil and contamination, you end up saving ample amounts of water and energy and minimise trees being chopped down to get virgin material.

Cigarette butts are the world’s most littered plastic item, with around 7 billion dropped in Australia every year. In partnership with Fungi Solutions, CigCycle collected cigarette butts will undergo a Myco-Remediation program (mushrooms, FYI) at their Thornbury myco-facility for research and development for new circular materials.
