Creating a Circular Economy in Santa Barbara (FREE Event)

What does Circular Economy mean to you? Isn't the Circular Economy just recycling? Is it more about efficiency or effectiveness? An does that even matter?

The Circular Economy has been established as a compelling concept with a clear business case to be applied to the redesign of everyday products and fundamentally new operating models for businesses. In this live conversation, members of the Circularity Summit 2020 team will discuss and debate some the underlying values and topics relevant to the Circular Economy. Learn why Circular Economy is the trendiest force to increase competitiveness.

The presentation will be focused on 'closing the loop' of the life-cyles of products, services, waste, materials, water and energy.

We will have several expert speakers that address the following:
• How is the Circular Economy different from sustainability, or recycling?
• How can product waste become economically viable feedstock for new products?
• What is a 'Cradle to Cradle' certification and how it can transform our current “use once / throw away” economy?
• What other cities have successfully implement a Circular Economy initiative?
• Why implementing a Circular Economy is vital for climate change mitigation.

Learn how Circular Economy serves as a framework to develop profitable and socially responsible businesses with positive impacts on the environment and people.

It is an opportunity to discover, learn, establish collaborative networks in the local sustainability ecosystem, and generate new projects and businesses that contribute to develop a sustainable community.
