In the Spotlight
On 8 July, Join Our Webinar, What Businesses Need to Know: Circular Economy for a Sustainable Future in North America
Our conventional models of living, producing and consuming, are placing an unsustainable strain on our planet. A thriving future demands that businesses must transition toward regenerative systems that support long-term, environmental health. In a circular system, products and materials are cycled back into use through maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling, or composting. These approaches foster innovation, drive efficiency, and create new economic opportunities and jobs, ensuring environmental benefits together with numerous economic and competitive advantages.
