The year 2029 - Circular Economy, IOT and meeting recycling targets

The Future of a Circular Economy: Resource Management

30th July 18:15 - 21:00

The year is 2029 and the UK is one year away from its ambitious 2030 target of achieving a recycling rate of 60%. Businesses need to recycle 75% of their waste as a significant contribution to meeting the UK’s target of 60%, will UK businesses step up to the mark to deliver 75% recycling and what will the future look like?

-What innovations will the industry have adopted to get us there?

-What kind of everyday behavioural changes will have to happen as a precursor to successfully hitting this target?

-Will municipal authorities have adjusted to a system of material recovery instead of waste management?

The United Kingdom has the opportunity to lead the way over the next decade in adopting circular economy principles. Technology can play a part in capturing material at source, developing new packaging solutions, designing smart bins to be used both at home and in the workplace as well as material scanners using AI to identify and separate products. There’s a bright future ahead for resource management and this will play an integral role in the UK shifting to a truly circular economy.
