Capitalising on the Circular Economy
Businesses that adopt the principles of the circular economy can reap significant financial and reputational benefits while positively contributing to global climate change targets.
A circular economy encourages innovation, increases growth, and creates sustainable employment – and if local businesses transition to operating a circular economy, the impact will be felt across society. Both globally and locally, governments are in the process of legislating for and promoting circular economy models.
This tutorial will explain the principles of the circular economy and discuss the opportunities which exist for local businesses. It will highlight the emerging strategy in Northern Ireland and help your business get ahead of the curve.
