Webinar – Principles of Circular Economy & its Business Application | Online
21 September 2018
Circular economy has been gaining a lot of attention due to enormous impact that such an innovative business model can have on companies in general and our society. The circular economy is a disruptive and innovative economic model which relates to different levels of government policy, businesses and consumers. It requires firms in different sectors across the value chain to integrate disruptive technology and design business models that are based on longevity, renewability, reuse, repair, upgrade, refurbishment, serviceability, capacity sharing, and dematerialisation.
