The Circular Economy Action Plan for Canada serves as an open-source resource designed to foster a deeper comprehension of the circular economy and provide pathways for stakeholders to engage in its execution by endorsing key initiatives. It is designed to steer strategic orientation and served as a blueprint for shaping the 2025 summit. Furthermore, the Action Plan and the advancements made in realizing its objectives and critical initiatives will serve as a framework for future circular economy endeavors and related events.
We want to thank our co-host Circular Economy Leadership Canada, our sponsors, partners, and speakers for making this event possible!
