Circular economy

Water is Earth’s most precious resource.

However, according to the United Nations, by 2030, « the world may face a 40% shortfall in water resources ». This is undoubtedly linked to the effects of climate change.

Circular economy

Our water resources are also subject to unprecedented pollution and pressure due to high volumes of micro-plastics and various chemical effluents.

It’s vital that we find models able to sustainably conserve both the quantity and quality of the water resources we need for our activities.

Over this half-day we’ll look at how our historically linear production models can be integrated into a circular approach to sustainably conserve our natural resources.

Topics
to be adressed

Reducing our consumption of « primary » raw materials is becoming a vital issue in order to secure supplies and reduce our carbon and resources footprints. We must encourage the re-use of resources, create new forms of cooperation between regions, companies and individuals and encourage the creation of integrated systems for the recycling and re-use of materials.
