The Future is Circular
A Circular Economy can address various global challenges: pollution, resource depletion, biodiversity loss and climate change. Let’s accelerate the journey towards circularity through a collaborative approach and a firm commitment.
Why you should attend the event
The Waste Management and Circular Economy Conference, organised by Waste & Recycling magazine
The second edition of the conference will provide a platform to identify gaps in the journey towards circularity and discuss strategies to fill them to share best practices and success stories in circularity model adoption;to discuss circular economy as a climate strategy and to explore ways to put the region on track to achieve its Net Zero goals.
It's becoming increasingly evident that a shift towards a circular economy is essential for sustainable development, and governments, businesses, and civil society are taking notice. In order to create a circular economy, everything about the traditional take-make-waste system must be reimagined - from product design and manufacturing to consumption and disposal. A successful transformation from a linear economy to a circular economy necessitates a collaborative approach and a firm commitment from all stakeholders to sustainable waste and resource management.
