The House of Circularity is an invitation-only network and open innovation platform created by Spin Ventures to accelerate the transition of the Consumer & Retail sector toward circular and regenerative operating models. It combines a curated membership network of leading corporates, investors, and ventures with a digital open innovation platform designed to aggregate technologies, structure pilots, and de-risk adoption and investment across the value chain. At its core, The House of Circularity functions as an execution layer translating innovation into pilot-ready systems, aligning capital with deployment, and converting circular and regenerative models into measurable operational and financial outcomes. Members engage through Strategic Working Groups, private roundtables, workshops, and targeted convenings, supported by an always-on collaboration layer. Each Working Group is structured around a clear mandate: to design, launch, and scale pilots across upstream materials, manufacturing, downstream recommerce, reverse logistics, and data infrastructure. The open innovation platform aggregates ventures, technologies, and data into integrated blueprint stacks—enabling corporates to test closed-loop systems, investors to access de-risked opportunities, and innovators to accelerate market entry through collective adoption. Outcomes are tangible and investment-relevant: pilots launched and scaled, capital mobilised, integration roadmaps delivered, and systems aligned with double materiality, regulatory readiness, and long-term supply-chain resilience. The House of Circularity is built for those shaping the next operating system of Consumer & Retail where efficiency, profitability, and regeneration converge.

CLUBZERØ is the leading Reuse Deposit Return Platform driving economic development and impact for governments, asset managers and brands worldwide through scalable technology, returnable packaging and infrastructure unlocking zero waste. As businesses face increasing pressure to comply with tightening regulations like EPR, plastic bans, net-zero goals and rising packaging taxes, our platform offers immediate cost savings and regulatory compliance in one integrated platform—transforming environmental responsibility from a burden into a competitive advantage. With 141 million tonnes of plastic packaging produced annually and only 9% successfully recycled, the majority ends up in landfills, oceans, or destroys habitats. Our comprehensive approach encompasses the entire zero-waste ecosystem: smart returnable packaging, strategically placed collection infrastructure, efficient logistics, washing facilities, and redistribution services. This full-service model achieves up to 93% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to single-use alternatives (verified by a Life Cycle Assessment) while generating valuable data that satisfies increasingly stringent reporting requirements. What distinguishes CLUBZERØ is our proprietary SaaS technology that transforms packaging into a tracked multi-use asset. Each container carries a unique identifier enabling complete lifecycle visibility and generating actionable consumer and environmental insights. This data empowers businesses to demonstrate regulatory compliance while optimizing their operations for sustainability and cost-efficiency. Since launching, our award-winning system has eliminated over 2.6 million single-use items from landfill and prevented 39 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

Technology has evolved to make almost everything more convenient. Once, we relied on homing pigeons to send messages; now, we can communicate across the world in less than a second with the press of a button. This addiction to convenience, however, has led to the accumulation of more clothes, more books, more toys, more electronics—more of everything—resulting in an ever-growing pile of waste. Byewaste is here to change that. We’re a fresh, contemporary concept that makes reusing, repairing, and recycling effortless. With our service, there’s no longer any reason to throw your items in the regular bin. Simply tap on our app, and we’ll come to collect your used items—giving them a new life or recycling them responsibly through our growing network of circular economy partners, including social enterprises. We provide a safe, sustainable solution that ensures nothing ends up incinerated or in landfills. Together, let’s turn convenience into a force for good.
