2019 – 4th Annual Sustainable Inclusive Conference – Circular Economy
Since the launch of sustainable inclusive business – the knowledge & network centre end of 2015 we have been hosting the annual sustainable inclusive circular conference.
From the start it has brought together on average 300 people from businesses, ngo’s, civil society, government and academia. the conferences have proven to be a fertile ground for businesses to exchange knowledge on sustainability and inclusiveness and to enhance their application abilities of sustainable inclusive business principles.

2019 – 4th Annual Sustainable Inclusive Conference – Circular Economy
In 2018 we discussed issues like waste management, impact on land, infrastructure and biodiversity and people’s skills. In 2019 we share the progress.
On Waste Management we are now ready to draft the Action Plan together with identified partners. On circular Economy, we now share the principles beyond the waste aspects. We look at Resources, Redesign materials, Redesign business models, Refurbishment, Remanufacturing and Recycling and we are developing road maps with partners. Recovering materials, Rethinking the use of materials are now even in the new Waste Management Bill. We all believe in the Circular Economy and we understand that resources, nature and people are all connected. In 2019 we focused on finding the collective solutions to close gaps.
