Seraphel Global, the UK-based sustainability consultancy, today announced the launch of its new Circular Economy Model for the Retail Industry. The Model shows how advanced recycling and refurbishment processes can transform waste materials such as fiberglass mannequins and retail displays into reusable, high-value products. The launch comes at a critical time for the industry, as retailers face increasing pressure to meet sustainability targets while managing rising operational costs.
“Retailers tend to create a lot of waste,” explained Aimee Weller, the retail operations specialist with over 20 years’ experience who founded Seraphel Global. “Our model shows that this waste can actually be a source of financial benefits, such as reduced capital expenditure, rather than an environmental burden for retail businesses.”
Seraphel’s Model is part of the broader ESG and circular economy trends that are having an impact on the way businesses operate. However, as Weller has found, retail and its physical supply chain are often underrepresented in mainstream ESG conversations. “It’s time to bring retail more fully into the ESG dialogue,” Weller said. “Retail can be more sustainable, which is not only good for business, it’s good for the world.”
Weller is intent on demonstrating how circular approaches can reduce capital expenditure while meeting ESG targets. Her approach is practical and grounded in commercial experience. She advocates for creating reuse and reprocessing pathways for fibreglass, plastics, and composite materials.
