This week's IFAT worldwide fair in Munich is centered around the topics: #water, #waste, and #RawMaterials. Investigating the challenges we do face, and the opportunities that await us. One opportunity that demands our attention is the concept of #CircularEconomy. ♻️ By establishing circular economy mechanisms, we empower companies on their journey toward #sustainability. This involves reusing, repairing, or recycling materials from existing products rather than extracting new resources. In addition to participating in the circular economy discussions at #IFAT, gaining deeper insights into the topic through our webinar on how circular economy mechanisms are revolutionizing #sustainability strategies in industrial firms could prove insightful: 📅 Thursday, May 23rd, 4:00pm CEST 📍 Virtual MS Teams session Register here: ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dMKj-tqq #RolandBerger
