What is the Circular Economy?

Held in the incredible Main Hall at The Guildhall, this event will take a look at what Circular Economy is and why is it relevant to your business.

The speakers will also be trying to change some mind-sets and preconceived ideas on what Circular Economy is and how it could be integrated into your business.
