There has never been a more important time for government, businesses, and community to come together to build a circular economy! In collaboration with the City of Sydney, we present, Innovations for a Circular Economy, a half-day online symposium streamed live from Customs House, Sydney.
Following on from the success of last year’s symposium, we’re excited to bring you an event designed to inspire, encourage collaboration and share sustainable solutions and innovations – all while celebrating World Ecolabel Day!
World Ecolabel Day was created by the Global Ecolabelling Network (GEN), a non-profit association of leading Type 1 ecolabelling organisations from 26 countries. We’re proud to be Australia’s only GEN member.
World Ecolabel Day is an opportunity to shine the spotlight on certified products and services, showing customers the power behind ecolabels to build trust, protect against greenwash, and stand up for superior sustainability performance through independent, third-party certification.
At GECA, we firmly believe that collaboration is essential if we are going to move our country and our planet toward a circular economy. So we’ve gathered together a host of expert speakers from government, business and fellow not for profits.
