Connecting Australia and The Netherlands: Let’s make waste and circular economy our business
05-04-2023 5:30 PM
A circular economy is essential to creating a sustainable future for our planet and ensuring the long-term well-being of society and the environment and could unlock $4.5 trillion of economic growth by 2030, create 6 million new jobs, and reduce carbon emissions by 39% globally.
Closer to home, ‘Recycling Victoria’, invests over $300 million in a more circular economy, which will help to create 3,900 jobs and help businesses grow in new ways and create new sectors in the Victorian economy. What are these opportunities and how can Victorian businesses partner with businesses in The Netherlands for a better and more sustainable future?
We are excited to announce our panel of industry experts joining our internationally acclaimed keynote speakers. Each has successfully collaborated in creating sustainable products and services. You can take advantage of this exclusive opportunity to learn what you can do to be successful too, whilst asking your unique-business specific questions directly to this esteemed panel.
