Circular Monday was founded in 2017 in Malmö, Sweden, by the circular cloth-repair start-up Repamera AB and it's founder Henning Gillberg (deceased Mars 2022). They played “the opposite game” with Black Friday and saw the need for a day that promotes circular consumption. From 2017-2019 it was called White Monday, but changed “White” to “Circular” during 2020 to make the message of the movement more clear. Alexandra Davidsson and the organization Responsible Consumption co-founded the campaign 2018-2020, and when Henning passed away in 2022, he left the campaign to Alexandra. From sept 2023 the climate tech start-up ClimateHero is organising the campaign worldwide, evolving it even further. We would like to extend a huge thank you to Kairos Future who sponsors us with data insights.
