About the Presentation:
Join us over lunch to explore the question: Is the circular economy simply the next sustainability buzzword, or does it represent a real shift in how we design and manage systems? We’ll show how the circular economy isn’t replacing sustainability — it’s operationalizing it. You’ll also learn about the Recycling Council of Alberta, the initiatives we’re leading to advance the circular economy in Alberta, and how you can get involved.
