Circularity Edge, LLC Supports USAID to Scale Up Renewable Energy in Developing Countries

Circularity Edge, LLC is part of a team that was awarded a five-year contract to support the continuation of USAID’s Scaling Up Renewable Energy (SURE) project. Led by Tetra Tech ES as the prime contractor, SURE builds on USAID’s work with 20 partner countries to promote renewable energy generation, support development of progressive energy policies and capacity building, and implement circular economy methods to address aging equipment and create a climate-smart future.


Recent advancements in renewable energy technologies and more circular business models have made solar and wind power viable options for emerging economies. Battery storage prices also have declined, providing opportunities to meet demand through innovative, market-driven options. Circular business models, relating to maintenance, refurbishing, reuse and ultimately recycling have been shown to bring significant local job opportunities for men and women.  


Under the SURE project, Circularity Edge, LLC provides technical expertise and knowhow to help build capacity around circular economy implementation, sustainability, design and operations, , including strategies and technologies intentionally designed to create a more circular economy.

Circularity Edge, LLC Listed Among Finalists For Eco-Industrial Park Development in Aruba

Circularity Edge, LLC Listed Among Finalists For Eco-Industrial Park Development in Aruba

 In late 2020, Circularity Edge, LLC. was selected by the Government of Aruba from over 50 contenders as one of the finalists to design and develop an eco-industry park using circular economic principles to grow food, generate renewable energy, minimize imports and create meaningful jobs, thereby making the island much less dependent on imports and tourism.


The circular economy is about closing material loops by keeping goods and materials longer in service by clever materials design and setting up services to reuse, refurbish, repurpose and ultimately recycle. Circularity Edge, LLC developed a method and plan to assess sub-optimal local situations for circular economy solutions. 


This method has been applied to Aruba and was chosen for its innovation and solid business approach and is now being evaluated by the Aruban Government. 


However, Aruba is just one example. There are many island economies where our method can be applied. And not only islands. The method is also suited for diverse regions and cities in the United States, South America and elsewhere. 


The key objectives of the Plan are to: 


  • Create new employment opportunities and prevent the brain drain of talent
  • Improve energy security and reduce the carbon footprint by reducing Aruba’s dependency on imported cost-volatile fossil fuels
  • Increase the island’s food security by reducing the exclusive reliance on imported food
  • Reduce organic waste
  • Create increasing tax revenue for the island
