This event is an opportunity for networking, learning and sharing knowledge. We are providing the space to build and strengthen connections between all parts of our supply and recovery chains, including; the public, local practitioners, producers, designer, retailers, resource recoverers, recyclers, councils and more. In order to be successful in creating a circular economy we all need to be on board to co-create together.
The circular economy is an alternative to throw-away thinking and our ‘make-use-dispose’ economic model. In a circular economy waste has been designed out of the system, no excess is produced and all resources are recovered. A circular economy is restorative and regenerative by design and recognises the intrinsic value of all living things and the ecosystems that sustain life. It creates strong, resilient and equitable communities where people have what they need to live happy and fulfilling lives.
