Following our successful Masterclass about the Circular Economy and Life Cycle Assessments earlier this year, we are very pleased to invite you to our exclusive event in “De Verspillingsfabriek” (The Waste Factory). De Verspillingsfabriek is part of 360, the Circular Economy Innovation Centre, where food waste streams are turned into tasty branded products, providing a great show case of how the Circular Economy can add value.

In our program Circular Economy Opportunity Starter we will address how to transform circular economy (CE) thinking into mainstream practices for sustainable innovation, beyond food. Making sure that implementing CE will actually reduce the negative sustainability effects as well as increase positive business impact. The program also pays attention to the impact on the business model of different industries represented by the partcipants. How can you make a solid business case for sustainability in relation to a Circular economy? What is the link between a circular business model and innovation? How can LCA help to identify the strategic innovation opportunities a circular business model bring for your company? These questions and many more will be discussed during the event which includes a live case working group session.

The Masterclass will be hosted Josée van der Hoek, Finch & Beak and Eric Mieras, PRé Sustainability. To complete the line-up, Bob Hutten CEO of Hutten Catering and initiator of both 360 and the “Verspillingsfabriek” will share his experience. Following the closing of the lunch you’re invited to a tour behind the scenes of De Verspillingsfabriek, for those who are interested.
