Circular economy project accelerator serving businesses and communities.
Business and technical support network for Washington State.
How we support circular economies
-
Accelerate
Providing technical support to help accelerate teams that will improve the state’s circular economy to an investment-ready status.
-
Regenerate
Developing equitable local economies while reducing waste, keeping materials in use longer, and regenerating natural systems.
-
Nurture
Nurturing projects that incorporate waste prevention, repair, reuse, recycling, and/or composting models.
A core element of NextCycle Washington is the Circular Accelerator Program, which provides technical assistance for promising businesses and projects. Selected projects are supported through a six-month program that includes consulting support, business planning, pitch development, and investment-readiness assistance.
We are looking for projects focused on waste prevention, reuse, repair, recovery, recycling, organics management, and product development using otherwise-wasted materials.
Cohort 4 application period: September 22 - October 31, 2025.
