In the past decade, sustainability programs have played a larger role in strategic planning.  More recently the ideas around the “circular economy” have gained momentum. The circular economy recognizes the limits to linear consumption and replaces the outdated model with a shift to renewable actions.   While many business professionals use the terms associated with the circular economy, their company actions are often limited to waste and recycling.   This paper explores sustainability and circular economy awareness and activities used by businesses.  A survey was developed to determine awareness of sustainability and circular economy concepts and whether activities around the circular economy are limited to waste and recycling.
