As always Geraldine Brennan, PhD from CIRCULÉIRE gives us context! As we rapidly transform from waste to resource management, Irish #CircularEconomy transition has to bring local innovation while embracing (and understanding) global and EU drivers #ESPR #DPP #CSRD #ESG

Delighted so see CIWM launch a brilliant challenge fund initiative today to fund six #circulareconomy innovators with a fast track marketing and communications programme. Proud that CIWM will help CE businesses tell their stories.

.Philip Nugent Dept. Environment, Climate and Communications speaking at the Irish Waste Management conference today asks the very important question ‘what would a circular economy strategy focused on delivering on human needs look like?’ Here’s hoping we take this unique opportunity to find out.
