Circular Economy in Practice: Supporting circularity along the value chain
This webinar explored how the circular economy is gaining traction in every sector, but often the focus is on using some recycled materials, or highlighting the recyclability of the product/packaging – a ‘bit less bad’.

This webinar included:
- A presentation of the framework, illustrated with examples;
- Case study insight from a circular economy experts in the agricultural sector;
- A discussion on how businesses could use the framework to highlight opportunities to make a sustainable impact, slowing the flow of resources, waste and pollution.
