Circular Economies Forum

Catalyzed by images of sea life entangled in plastic nets, and warnings that if something was not done our oceans would have more plastic than fish by 2050, the awareness around waste has driven calls for governments, business leaders, and consumers to “do something”.

In China, where the government has acted quickly to do what they can through a series of regulations focused on residential waste management, the importation of waste materials, and signaling that e-commerce platforms like ele.me and Taobao are next.

At the same time leading brands, entrepreneurs, and innovators, have been working hard to identify opportunities to develop and deploy their own solutions, be it through the capture and upcycling of waste materials, developing new products, or shifting their business models away from wasteful practices.

There is a lot happening!

To help participants better understand the opportunities to bring new products and processes that close the loops on waste, we have invited an exciting panel of executives and entrepreneurs who will speak to their work to develop new products, shift their business models, and engage customers.
