Volumes of waste in urban communities continue to rapidly increase. The world we have built is not like this; we throw away valuable resources, and this is harming our planet and people. But we have the power to build something better. In this session we will explore how public and private organisations are pioneering systemic circular economy solutions in our cities, inspiring a new generation of people, companies, and industries to rethink, reuse and regenerate. A session aiming to inspire cities and businesses to build a future without waste and create more thriving, resilient and inclusive places to live.
