Resource extraction causes 90% of biodiversity loss and accounts for 50% of all GHG emissions. (UNEP)
These are shocking numbers which, once again, highlight the severity of the consequences our current economic system is causing to our planet and society.
However, not only most experts, but also many political and corporate leaders are aware of this status quo and even see a promising way out - circular economy.
Therefore, realizing a truly circular economy is not necessarily a recognition problem, but an implementation problem.
And this is exactly what we tackle at CIRCULAR REPUBLIC through our projects in the textile industry, recycling EV batteries, or various Masterclasses and circular economy workshops.
In November, we are taking all of this a step further and I could not be more excited about it. Our CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL is just a little bit over a month away (November 15-18).
This four-day event brings together circular economy enthusiasts from politics, industry, science, and entrepreneurship and tackles the actual IMPLEMENTATION of circular economy!
Personally, I am very proud to have curated the panel on circular textiles.
Besides that, prepare to get inspired by speakers and panelists like Christian Haub, Sarah Fleischer, Walter Thomsen, Georg Singer, Andrea Schneller, Nora Sophie Griefahn, Leonhard Nima and many others!
We will try to find answers to:
❓What does it take to kickstart a circular revolution?
❓ The world is only 7% circular - what does this mean for a city like Munich?
❓ How do innovative tech start-ups and big corporates jointly enable car battery circularity?
❓ Is the Digital Product Passports really a trillion-dollar opportunity for Europe?
❓ Why can you still fail with a circular economy strategy?
Furthermore, you will get the chance to get your hands-on through workshops on topics like "Circular Economy Readiness Scan" and "Circular Business Models".
