Since 2014 The Centre for Sustainable Design's developing focus on circular business models has led to CfSD’s involvement in two projects funded by the EU Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) programme, Circular Ocean (2015-18) and Blue Circular Economy (2018-22), which builds on Circular Ocean’s aims and insights. In Circular Ocean Charter worked with UCA doctoral student Rhiannon Hunt and CfSD’s Scott Keiller. They collaborated with partners in Scotland, Denmark, Ireland and Norway to address the Entrepreneurship strand of the NPA programme, researching how start-ups and SMEs can reuse waste fishing nets and ropes in new product development. CfSD, although not in the NPA area, was brought into the project to contribute specialist expertise in eco-innovation and SMEs. Charter and CfSD published 6 research reports and feasibility studies and produced a new Circular-Ocean-specific version of CfSD’s Eco-innovation Guide for Start-ups, Entrepreneurs & SMEs
