Circular Economy
The global resource & waste management crisis, and the deep transformation of consumer expectations and behaviours, and the work being done as part of the EU Circular Economy Package, means the Retail and Consumer Goods sector needs to rapidly reinvent the way consumer products are sold.
The purpose of this focus area is to
- to promote education and awareness on the Circular Economy
- to present the trends emerging around the EU Circular Economy Package, specifically as they apply to the retail & CPG sector.
- to encourage collaboration on global circular economy activities across the supply chain of retailers and manufacturers.
