The Future is Circular: On the Circular Economy and the Promise of a Sustainable Development
Abstract: Around 2 billion people worldwide live in countries that actively promote the principles of circular economy. But, what is Circular Economy? The Circular Economy proposes a radical change in the current production and consumption systems, by minimizing the need for raw materials and non-renewable sources of energy, while drastically reducing the generation of waste. How does circular economy work? How do we make our products and services more circular? Will Circular Economy be able to change the way we make and use products in the US in a more sustainable way? These questions will be explored during the talk, and a particular emphasis will be given to examining the relationship between circular economy and sustainable development.
