– Circular Economy: Move from Concept to Action!

 - 

How can we ensure a green and fair economic revitalization? Circular Economy holds part of the answer, as this new economic model simultaneously reduces pressure on resources, increases GDP, creates local jobs and significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It is defined as a production, exchange and consumption system aiming at optimizing resource use at every stage of the life cycle of a product or service through a circular approach, to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to the well-being of individuals and communities (Pôle québécois de concertation sur l’économie circulaire). Circular Economy is a priority for RECYC-QUÉBEC and was integrated into its mission five years ago. Since then, several initiatives have been implemented: events, financial aid, partnerships, dialogues with stakeholders, etc. This presentation will allow you to learn more about these different initiatives and their impact.
