What's this about?

WCEF2018

The World Circular Economy Forum presents the world’s best circular economy solutions and brings together key circular economy thinkers and doers from around the world.

A circular economy

Circular economy solutions are needed to safeguard biodiversity and solve the climate crisis. In a circular economy we maintain the value of what we produce through smarter design and shifting from owning products to using services.

Sustainability transition

The life, well-being and economy of Finns fully depend on nature. How can we change the way we operate so that we build a good life, successful business and sustainable public finances within the limits of nature’s carrying capacity?
