Circularity professionals are gathering at these events

From the newsletter

Over the next few months, 12 key events across Africa and beyond will bring together stakeholders advancing the circular economy, as identified by Circular Rising. Of these events, seven are focused specifically on circular economy themes, while the remaining five spotlight related sustainability issues across various sectors.

• Among the circular-focused events are both broad, cross-sector conferences and topic-specific gatherings, covering areas such as e-waste, plastic recycling, and waste treatment.

• South Africa stands out as the dominant host, with nine of the 12 events taking place in the country. These include four sector-specific circular events and all five of the related sustainability gatherings.
