Become part of the Circular Living movement at the Circular Living Symposium 2019: Upcycling Our Planet
Plaza Athénée Hotel, Bangkok • Friday, 28 June, 2019 • 08:30 until 16:30 hrs. Admission is free.
Why should you care about Circular Living?
The world’s natural resources are under threat. Now is the time for a “resource revolution” — a whole new way to get the most benefit from the natural resources that remain. Circular Living is the solution that will drive this revolution by minimizing waste and extracting the greatest value from the planet’s resources.
Four reasons why you should be at this Symposium
You will hear from international leaders in the Circular Economy who are already making the world a better place.
We’re bringing in some of the world’s most innovative thinkers who are driving the Circular Economy phenomenon. Rob Opsomer from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation; Arthur Huang, CEO of MINIWIZ, who believes “trash is sexy”; and Dr. Jenna Jambeck, a National Geographic Explorer whose research was used in policy discussions by the Global Ocean Commission. They are just some of the people who initiated the Circular Economy movement and will be at the event.
You will learn about the Circular Economy, the global movement to drive sustainability.
With the Circular Economy, used plastics are fed back into the system as raw materials for new items. This conserves existing natural resources while reducing waste. By incorporating Circular Living into your lifestyle, you play an important role in protecting the planet’s future.
You will get lots of great ideas about how to make Circular Living part of your life and business.
The Symposium will host many international and local innovators sharing their experiences and offering insights into Circular Living. By the end of the day, you will have valuable insights into how you can adopt a Circular Living lifestyle and useful approaches that you can apply and share.
It’s free!
