A Circular Future for the Square City!: Innovative and Sustainable Examples of the Circular Economy from Mannheim
In the linear economic system that is commonly used today, finite resources are often used only once and then discarded. Yet many of these resources can be reused, recycled, or avoided altogether.
In this event, which is part of the Innovation Festival innomake! During the event, we’ll discuss with established companies and startups from Mannheim how they can help ensure that resources remain within the circular economy.
Following a keynote address by an expert on sustainability and the circular economy Phoebe Blackburn present Südzucker and Essity their real-world examples of the "circular economy." This will be followed by a panel discussion with the manufacturer of the edible cutlery Frenvi as well as the manufacturer of vegan handbags Melina Bucher took place.
