Muti is the mascot of the Circular Movement. He personifies the movement, carrying its attributes. The name itself comes from its ability to change and renew itself all the time. Muti is a nickname for 'Mutant'. This curious, direct, adventurous, and provocative being explores galaxies, systems, and constellations in search of planets full of life and potential. Upon arriving here on Earth, it brought us his MUTI-IDEAS, so that we too can get our hands dirty and build, together, through education, a way of living that only brings and leaves good things. Avoiding waste and turning trash into a new resource is essential and VERY MUTI COOL!


All that is good lasts a long time and in the end it can still become something new.

Was it rubbish? What if it turned into something else?

In addition to being economical, it is sustainable. It means less garbage in the landfill.

What if we assume that used stuff is good?

Upgrading is only good for those who sell things. Be rebellious.

What if we ignore the upgrade craze?

Fixing is smart. Things last longer and the money stays in your pocket.

What if we fix it instead of throwing it away?

Use your imagination to transform what is commonplace into something new.


What if we customize it before we get bored and get rid of it?

 What if you're a genius at fixing things?

The Circular Economy stimulates changes throughout the extraction, production, consumption, and disposal chain, aiming to enhance the natural resources already in circulation, support the regeneration of ecosystems, reduce waste generation, and create socioeconomic development opportunities.

In this way, the Circular Economy, directly or indirectly, contributes to achieving the targets of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
