Connor Bryant

Co-Founder & CEO, Rubbish Ideas

Connor Bryant is a visionary circular economy entrepreneur dedicated to designing a future without waste. As the co-founder of Rubbish Ideas, a pioneering circular economy design consultancy, Connor has been at the forefront of transforming how businesses approach sustainability since its inception alongside his university colleague, Jack Schneider.

Rubbish Ideas leverages the power of design thinking to help businesses transition from traditional linear economy practices to innovative circular models, encompassing products, packaging, business strategies, supply chains, and mindsets. In addition to consultancy, the firm has developed The Rubbish Portal, an online eco-impact tracking platform aimed at enabling businesses to better measure, report, and reduce their environmental footprint.

Under Connor’s leadership, Rubbish Ideas has expanded its impact through strategic partnerships, joint ventures, and collaborative projects. One such initiative is The Rubbish Project, which focuses on kickstarting closed-loop recycling in the events industry across the Benelux region and beyond. Another is Rubbish Reusables, a Netherlands-based joint venture aimed at revolutionizing reusable packaging and addressing the challenges within existing reuse systems.

Connor identifies as a solar punk, committed to realising a future where technology and innovative thinking enable humanity to thrive in harmony with nature. Beyond his work with Rubbish Ideas, he is an influential public speaker, traveling to events, schools, universities, conferences, and corporations to share his positive vision for the future. Through these engagements, he hopes to inspire others to join the movement towards a sustainable, waste-free world.
