The circular economy: how business can do more with less
Resources are finite. Businesses are changing. The circular economy is the way forward. Some companies are focusing on recycling their own or other’s waste. Some design products that are easy to recycle or recover. Some focus on giving their products a second life. Others are shifting from selling products to selling services (don’t sell light bulbs, sell lighting). And the line between business and consumer is becoming blurred thanks to the advent of the sharing economy. The opportunities are enormous; the challenges are very real.
Join five other senior business executives and thought leaders on this roundtable to discuss the new business opportunities and increased customer intimacy being created by the circular economy, the ultimate answer to solving the problem of the depletion and economic scarcity of resources.
