The transition to a circular economy is essential to reducing resource consumption, minimising waste and building more resilient, competitive and sustainable economies. As businesses face growing pressure to reduce their environmental footprint and resource dependencies, the challenge is to move beyond linear production models towards circular solutions that deliver commercial value at scale. This session will examine how businesses, investors and policymakers can accelerate the transition through circular business models, innovative technologies and investment mobilisation, identifying opportunities to turn waste into valuable resources across supply chains.
