Join us for the next edition of our Innovation Dialogue series focusing on the topic of circular economy. The event will bring together experts and industry leaders from Germany, Mainland China, and Hong Kong to discuss how companies are implementing innovative recycling technologies and utilising sustainable materials to create more eco-friendly products.
At the Innovation Dialogue, we will not only present our latest White Paper, Advanced Sorting Facilities: The Key to Effective and Efficient Recycling and Waste Management in Hong Kong, but also explore current trends and strategies to implement circular solutions and create a more sustainable economy.
Attendees will gain insights into design thinking for sustainable products, consumer behaviour, negotiating end-of-life product recycling, and how to create partnerships for a circular economy. In addition, this event provides a platform for fostering collaborations and partnerships, making it an excellent opportunity for businesses looking to make a difference in the world.
