A circular economy offers solutions for global sustainability challenges by transitioning from the linear take-make-use-dispose economy to better managing resources. It will influence most industry sectors, but chemistry and chemists will be essential to make the most of the opportunities.
This event will discuss best practices, benefits, and barriers to implementing a circular economy, covering a wide range of industry sectors and materials: platform chemicals, CO2 as a raw material, plastics, energy, and opportunities in the construction sector.
Presentation titles include:
