About this Event
✨ Part of KINDFIRE , the eco-artivist exhibition by GREENy bastARTs during London Climate Action Week 2026.
Join us for a multidisciplinary panel exploring waste, circular economy, environmental action, and the systems shaping how we produce, consume, discard, and reimagine materials.
Bringing together voices from circular design, river clean-up initiatives, environmental consultancy, and eco-artivism, this conversation asks how we can move beyond the idea of “waste” altogether and design systems that leave nothing behind.
Topics explored during the panel include:
🌍 Circular economy and holistic product design
🛍️ Packaging, procurement, and upstream responsibility
🚫 The environmental impact of polluting materials
💡 Practical actions individuals, communities, and organisations can take now
The panel will explore how creativity, policy, design thinking, and collective action can help reshape our relationship with materials, transforming “trash” from something disposable into something valuable.
🎤 The discussion will be followed by audience Q&A and open conversation.
