What we are exploring
Institutional waste measurement, reduction, reuse and recycling opportunities, and the practical conditions needed to evaluate them responsibly.
Proposed discovery-stage concept
Tree of Life Circular Justice
A proposed research and partnership concept exploring whether better measurement and management of institutional material flows could support environmental, skills and employment outcomes.
Potential social value
Where appropriate and subject to safeguards, the concept considers green skills, rehabilitation and credible employment pathways.
What we are seeking
Research, operational and technology partners able to challenge the discovery question, methods, safeguards and evidence requirements.
Responsible development
Early work may use synthetic, aggregated or appropriately authorised data. The proposed platform would not make automated decisions about individual prisoners. Any future institutional work would require appropriate safeguards, human review and formal permissions.
Current status
Tree of Life Circular Justice is not a live AI platform. It has no prison or HMPPS partnership, no access to prisoners or prisoner data, no approved government pilot, no established European consortium and no funding approval. It does not claim proven financial or environmental savings.
