Share
The fourth edition of the Circular Week will be held 11-17 October 2021 to raise awareness and bring together stakeholders from the field of sustainable development and circular economy.
This year's congress will be held under the motto "Together for a sustainable future".
It will include a series of expert panels, webinars, workshops and networking sessions where representatives of businesses, start-ups, think tanks, and public administration can learn and connect.
“Last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Circular Week was attended by over 3,500 people from around the world.
We organized 56 events in cooperation with 17 countries - says Agnieszka Sznyk, president of the Board of the Institute for Innovation and Responsible Development INNOWO, lead organizer of the Circular Week.
This year's edition will focus on solutions addressing critical challenges of the modern economy, like extended producer responsibility, building circular cities, wise food management, development of bioeconomy, sustainable production in the fashion industry, and changes in the plastics industry.
During Circular Week 2021, daily thematic sessions are also planned for business representatives, such as Business Circular Matchmaking Sessions, devoted to circular industry issues, including textiles and food waste or sustainable agriculture and industry.
“Climate change, which we not only hear about in the media but also experience more and more often, requires decisive action.
Circular Week is an opportunity to exchange knowledge necessary for activities for the benefit of our planet,”
comments Cezary Ludwikowski from the National Centre of Climate Change, one of the partners of the Circular Week 2021.
Over 30 institutions, companies and start-ups, and embassies of European countries have been already joined as partners.
Partner organizations that want to get involved with the Circular Week can still submit their projects and events to be listed and promoted as part of the agenda.
Szynk adds: “This year we will be joined by partners from Scandinavia, Canada and Israel, which is why we focus even more on the topics of innovation that can be implemented and scaled to all markets.
I am pleased with the growing interest in the congress, which proves the growing need for implementing circular economy solutions.”
As every year, the Mazovia Circular Congress will be one of the highlights of the Circular Week 2021, which will take place on October 15 in Warsaw, Poland.
The week-long event is organized in partnership with the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, an EU organization associating Circular Economy stakeholders from the European Union.
