How can a circular economy contribute to realising sustainability goals?

Explore how the circular economy realises sustainable goals at Sustainability Week Asia, February 7th-9th 2023. Singapore and online

The circular economy is estimated to generate an additional $4.5 trillion of economic output globally by 2030
