Event organisers' information:

"Australia’s business leaders recognise the importance of transitioning away from our current take-make-use-dispose model but seek greater awareness of circular practices and solutions.

"With 88% of business decision makers surveyed agreeing the circular economy would be important to the future of their business. However, only 27% could correctly identify the definition of circular economy when presented with a list of options.

"To close the gap, Circularity’s multi stream conference program will consist of a range of expert-led panel discussions, interactive workshops, case study evaluations and keynote sessions covering a broad range of topics."
