[VIRTUAL] London: Global City Snapshots: Firsthand Accounts of the Circular City Transition (181102)

Feedback form is now closed.

Circular economy isn’t just about waste; and it certainly isn’t just about recycling. It’s about making the very best use of the planet’s finite resources, designing out waste at every stage of the supply chain – but how can this benefit a local economy? This webinar will use London as a case study to show how circular economy can make city economies stronger, create meaningful and accessible local jobs and help tackle cost of living pressures.
