WEBINAR: PRODUCT CIRCULARITY & ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES OF FISHING NETS
Circular economies aim to minimise resource inputs, emissions and energy leakage by designing long-lasting products; maintaining, repairing, and reusing them; and recycling them at the end of their useful life. This is in contrast to traditional linear economies utilizing ‘take, make, dispose’ models of production. This presentation by Professor Martin Charter of The Centre for Sustainable Design in the UK, will provide guidance on how organisations can implement circular economy principles related to products, processes, and business models. Professor Charter is also a partner on the Circular Ocean project, pursuing innovative and sustainable solutions for marine plastic waste arising from waste fishing nets and ropes (FNR’s). Here professor charter will present issues related to waste FNR’s, existing products that utilize FNR’s, and potential new business models for waste FNR’s, watch the presentation here
