Learn the basics of the Circular Economy concept and how it can increase economic opportunity and resilience for Northwest BC
About this event
In an equitable circular economy, resources and manufactured goods are designed to remain in the system through innovation, reuse and repair, redistribution, recondition, and recycling processes, all of which are powered by renewable energy. These innovations enable affordable lifestyles and empower new ventures that create green jobs for the future.
Join Synergy Foundation and the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine for a webinar exploring a vision of a thriving circular economy in Northwestern BC and the role that entrepreneurs, businesses, and consumers can play.
The circular economy offers opportunities to strengthen our local economy. A circular economy is one where:
- We share more than we own, freeing income and sparing resources
- New ideas come to life and inspire other regions
- Products are made and repaired locally
- Economic equality is the new norm
- One’s waste is another’s resource
During the webinar we will cover the following:
- Circular economy overview
- Examples of local and global businesses operating within the circular economy
- Identify opportunities to increase economic opportunity and resilience while having a positive impact on the environment
