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.
Yet, how do you transition from a linear to a more circular economy ?

To help organizations embrace the circular economy, the International Standardization Organisations (ISO) is developing a set of standards for the circular economy. Interested ?

Get insights on the topic and contribute to the new standards, during the ‘Standards for the Circular Economy’ kick-off event that NBN organizes in Brussels on Thursday 6 June 2019.
