Register for our ‘Standards for the Circular Economy’ kick-off event

Sustainability is becoming more important for citizens, companies and organizations. Hence the growing adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. And although there’s still much ground to be covered, it has become clear that a circular economy is a key lever for achieving an important number of sustainability goals. A circular economy’s quintessential feature ? To be as regenerative and waste-free as possible.
