  • It’s a Wrap – Innovations for a Circular Economy

    Innovations for a Circular Economy
    23 Nov 2020 6:41 pm

    In collaboration with the City of Sydney, we presented, Innovations for a Circular Economy (9 October 2020), a half-day online symposium streamed live from Customs House, Sydney.

    We designed this event to inspire, encourage collaboration and share sustainable solutions and innovations, bringing together government, businesses, and community to build a circular economy – all while celebrating World Ecolabel Day!

    We want to thank all our incredible, inspiring speakers, Craig Reucassel,  production partners; KEZUMircoSafe Care Australia, and eWater Systems and the City of Sydney and all of you who attended – thank you!
