Circular Economy event - 6 October

The University’s Centre for Low Carbon Futures (CLCF) is holding an event in York on the ’Circular economy; innovative thinking for a sustainable future’.

CLCF has been working closely with the Ellen McArthur Foundation on mechanisms to develop a 'circular economy' where materials are used in a closed loop rather than the 'make, use and dump' cycle of today. The event is being held in collaboration with the York Environmental Sustainability Institute on Thursday 6 October 2011, 11am - 7.00pm.

The meeting will be moderated by Bernice Lee of Chatham House and includes presentations from Andrew Miller, Chair of the Science and Technology Select Committee, Stef Kranendijk of Desso and Sarah Eppel, Head of Sustainable Products and Consumers at Defra as well as Alan Murray of Leeds University Business School.

Registration is by email to deborah.coldwell [a] york.ac (p) uk
