Circular City Exchange

A shared space for collaboration on Brighton’s circular future

We’re piloting the Circular City Exchange: a flexible space at Plus X Innovation for people who want to explore how Brighton can become a more circular city.

This is an opportunity to come together, share ideas, and run activities that show what a circular economy looks like in practice. The Exchange is open until March 2026, and we’re inviting partners from across the city to get involved.
