ABOUT

Ostrero works to grow the Circular Economy in Scotland through mindset change and education. We raise awareness of what the Circular Economy is and how it is vitally important to Scotland’s economic and environmental wellbeing. Ostrero is based in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was created in 2016 by Mary Michel and Marian Brown, who are both passionate about the tangible and positive changes that the Circular Economy can create.

Our experience in the creative industries, education and events can help your organisation embed Circular Economy principles and design out waste. 

“Ostrero’s services have helped Cisco Live to keep materials at their highest value and move towards designing waste out of the event. A clear understanding of where and why waste was generated has led to a 26% reduction in general waste in just one year. The team’s thoughtful approach has seen the mindsets and behaviours in our supply chain change, which has resulted in a much more circular event.”
