The rainbow includes the Progress Pride Flag colors on the left side. The words 'PORTY PRIDE' are curved along the bottom of the circle.

Three women standing together in front of a window and a government banner. One is holding a copy of Reloopβs Global Deposit Book 2024. All three are smiling, with the banner for the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs visible on the right side.
A group of approximately 15 people gathered in a well-lit room with large windows and trees visible outside. They are smiling and standing together after a roundtable discussion on the circular economy. Prominent figures include Mary Creagh and representatives from various environmental organisations.
Today, Reloop brought together leading organisations for a dynamic roundtable event with the UK's Circular Economy Minister to discuss the practical steps towards achieving a circular economy.
