Our world is only 8.6% circular. This means that of all products, materials, and resources in existence, only a small percentage is re-entering the economy. All other waste is either landfilled, incinerated, or left to breakdown in our waterways or on our land.
The circular economy offers significant opportunities for businesses in all sectors to reduce their environmental impact and create green jobs for the future.
Join Synergy Foundation, Duncan Cowichan Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Cowichan on Tuesday, September 21, 10:00 AM – 11:15 AM PST, as we take a deep dive into the circular economy and identify specific opportunities for businesses within the Cowichan Region.
This webinar will cover:
1. Brief overview of the circular economy
2. Case studies of local businesses who have implemented circular principles
3. How to assess your business's current material flows and identify circular opportunities (worksheets provided)
4. How to create an action plan, set meaningful targets, and track your progress
