Why Circular Economy Week?
Circular Economy Week is a critical initiative aimed at raising awareness and accelerating the transition towards a circular economy—a system where resources are reused, repurposed, and recycled to minimise waste and environmental impact. As part of it’s 7th annual event the week is dedicated to showcasing the power of collaboration and innovation in creating sustainable solutions that benefit both the planet and society.
About the Panel Discussion:
Our panel discussion, "Innovating for Circularity," will delve into the heart of these efforts. We will discuss the strategies and technologies behind successful B2B partnerships that prioritise sustainability, with a focus on what happens to unsold stock donated to the Salvation Army Trading Company. The conversation will cover:
Partnership Dynamics: How organisations are working together to close the loop on waste, from collection and fibre to fibre recycling to repurposing.
Impact on Unsold Stock: A look at the innovative processes that ensure donated items are given a second life, reducing waste and supporting community needs.
Future of Circular Technology: Insights into the emerging technologies and practices that are driving the next wave of circularity.
This event is not only an opportunity to learn about SATCoL’s cutting-edge solutions but also to network with professionals and organisations committed to making a positive environmental impact.
