Explore circular economy principles to enhance sustainability, resource efficiency, and innovative business models.
About this Event

In today’s resource-constrained world, the traditional take-make-dispose model is no longer sustainable. This interactive session introduces the circular economy - a regenerative system that designs out waste, maximizes resource efficiency, and retains material value across product lifecycles. Participants will explore the Value Hill framework, learning how to keep materials “on the hill” longer through smarter design, reuse, and innovative business models.

You will learn to:

● Distinguish linear vs. circular models and their economic and environmental impacts.

● Identify key principles of circularity, from durability to resource recovery.

● Apply practical strategies that drive circular innovation and resilience.

Join us to discover how circular thinking can unlock new value streams, reduce risk, and future-proof your organization in a rapidly evolving economy.

The workshop fee includes general admission to the Green Women Festival, granting access to talks, booths, and goodie bags. The workshop will be conducted in English.
