Australian Social Enterprises

Our mission is to make reuse the norm, not the exception, by delivering integrated reusable packaging systems that remove operational friction for venues, festivals, workplaces, and high-density environments. Cercle's core activities are designed to achieve both environmental and social outcomes. Environmentally, we reduce reliance on disposable products, minimise waste sent to landfill, and support lower-impact resource consumption through reuse infrastructure and data-driven circular systems. Socially, we create meaningful employment pathways for individuals who frequently face barriers to employment, including people with experiences of incarceration, domestic violence, and long-term disadvantage. Through partnerships with community organisations and social procurement initiatives, Cercle seeks to demonstrate that circular economy systems can simultaneously generate measurable environmental benefits and inclusive economic participation.
