The Circular Economy Challenge

Presented by FCM’s Green Municipal Fund

The circular economy is an emerging concept that explores how to reduce waste by extending the lifecycle of products and materials. It has the potential to provide many efficiencies for Canadian municipalities. A dynamic panel discussion will allow delegates to learn more about what the circular economy can mean for their community, and about what tools they can use each step of the way – from scoping opportunities to identifying stakeholders to implementing projects.

Presented in collaboration with the National Zero Waste Council
