What's this about?

Project

WCEF2019

The World Circular Economy Forum 2019 in Helsinki, Finland on 3-5 June 2019 built the next era of the circular economy.
Topic

A circular economy

How do we move to a circular economy, in which consumption is based on using services – sharing, renting and recycling – instead of owning things?
Theme

A carbon-neutral circular economy

The way we live, travel, eat and do business is undergoing a radical change. The new everyday life will be based on using services instead of owning things.
