Marleena Ahonen

I work as a specialist in Sitra’s international circular economy programme. My focus is on implementing the EU Circular Economy Resource Centre (EU CERC), where we aim to increase the uptake of sound and inclusive circular economy practices, policies and business models. I’m also involved in building the annual World Circular Economy Forum (WCEF). My focus is especially on stakeholder outreach, since the circular transition cannot be achieved alone – we need global collaboration to do it together!

I have over 7 year’ of experience in the circular economy with various stakeholders globally. I’m particularly interested in business models and value chains of the circular economy and the role of the circular economy in resolving climate change and overuse of natural resources. I have an MSc in technology with a focus on sustainable industrial processes and material technology.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to join the global circular economy revolution with the EU CERC!
