The Circular Economy 101 Workshop will take place on July 13 at the Informa Offices on London\'s Blackfriars

Products of Change is to host its first Circular Economy 101 workshop next month, providing participants with an understanding of the basic principles of the economic model and how it can support a more sustainable future for the consumer products sector. The Circular Economy 101 Workshop will take place on Wednesday July 13 from 2.00pm at the Informa Offices on Blackfriars Road in London and will be led by Products of Change’s Advisor and Circular Economy expert, Arthur Parry. The Circular Economy, as defined by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, is a systems-led approach to:
  1. Eliminate waste and pollution
  2. Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)
  3. Regenerate nature
In practical terms, this includes thinking about how products are used and ways in which manufacturing processes can be improved to reduce waste, how products and their parts can be put to better use (through reuse, repair, or refurbishment), and how materials can be reused through recycling (although, this should be seen as a last resort). The participative London workshop will include group discussions, practical exercises, and will provide live examples of the circular economy in practice today. The workshop will arm attendees with the knowledge needed to apply their circular economy learning straightaway. The three-hour course is priced at £120 for Products of Change members and £150 for non-members and will include course materials and refreshments. Like previous Products of Change workshops, the Circular Economy 101 Workshop will be hosted by Informa at the company’s London offices on Blackfriars Road (close to Southwark Underground Station). The course will take place on Wednesday, July 13th at 2.00pm. For more information on how to join the course, email advisors@productsofchange.com or get in touch with the Products of Change team at Rob@productsofchange.com Book your place at the Circular Economy 101 Workshop here.
