This webinar was held during the 6th annual Science Summit at the 78th United Nations General Assembly on 18th September 2023.
Circular economy isn’t just about waste; and it certainly isn’t just about recycling. It’s about making the very best use of the planet’s finite resources, designing out waste at every stage of the supply chain - but how can this benefit a local economy? This webinar uses London as a case study to show how circular economy can make city economies stronger, create meaningful and accessible local jobs and help tackle cost of living pressures.
