Circular economy and the triple planetary crisis

In partnership with the City of Rotterdam and NVRD, ISWA hosts this joint event, featuring speaker sessions and panels discussing the impact waste management has on climate change, and how circular economy can change the tide.

The event will be held in-person in Rotterdam, and also be livestreamed.

The event will start with the broad picture provided by the president of the International Solid Waste Association, who just attended UN Climate Conference (COP27). He will discuss the impact of waste management on climate change in respect to COP27 and specifically what role the circular economy has to play.

Next, we will look at the landscape of circular Economy in The Netherlands, what ideas and thoughts are there in the Netherlands on the topic, what is the impact and what are the challenges and opportunities. You will hear from projects and initiatives in The Netherlands to inspire and spark your mind.

After the break we will focus on circular economy in the context of plastic pollution providing you with information on a five- year project that has just been concluded in a.o. Rotterdam.
