the festival of circular economy.
The world’s biggest challenges demand the world’s biggest solutions.
Over 2 days of virtual live-streamed content, changemakers and thought leaders from around the world gathered to share their insights and expertise on all things circular, from inspiring industry use-cases to innovative business models and sustainability solutions. Connecting the movers, shakers and trailblazers across the circular landscape, this year’s Festival was a hive of circular celebration – and we can’t wait to do it all again in 2024!
