What is the circular economy? In our largely linear economy, most of the products we purchase are manufactured from raw materials and are destined to end up in landfills or our oceans after just a few uses. In a circular economy, materials and goods are designed to remain in the system through innovation, reuse and repair, redistribution, reconditioning, and recycling.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the Project Zero econext Incubator, a FREE application-based six-month program designed to support circular ventures.
Participants in the online session will learn more about the structure and schedule for the initiative, the application process, and details on coaching, workshops, and resources available to successful applicants!
Date: Tuesday March 18, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
