Australia’s business leaders recognise the importance of transitioning away from our current ‘take, make, use, dispose’ model of production but seek concrete information about circular practices and solutions and practical advice and strategies on how to implement these in their businesses.
In a recent survey of business decision-makers by Planet Ark’s Australian Circular Economy (ACE) Hub, 88% of respondents agreed that the circular economy would be important to the future of their business – but only 27% could correctly identify the definition of circular economy when presented with a list of options.
Brought to you by Planet Ark, the two-day event will take a deep-dive into the latest research and real-world case studies that are driving actionable change towards a more circular future in the Asia-Pacific region.
Conference agenda and speaker line-up
Circularity LIVE’s multi-stream conference program aims to help close that gap with expert-led panel discussions, interactive workshops, case-study evaluations and keynote sessions spanning a broad range of topics.
