Bacotgus: Empower Your Business At the Circular Economy Showcase 2024

GUELPH, ON, June 3, 2024 /CNW/ -The Circular Economy Showcase will take place at the University of Guelph from June 24 to 27 and is set to be a pivotal event for Canadian businesses aiming to elevate their operations through sustainable business practices. This unique conference will feature practical insights and business models from North American and European leaders who are at the forefront of implementing Circular Economy initiatives.

The Circular Economy Showcase 2024 features a program of over 30 speakers who will explore the transformative potential of circular economy practices. Attendees will delve into key topics such as "The Role of Business in a Circular Economy," gaining valuable knowledge and best practices on the principles, applications, technologies, and strategies driving sustainable business practices.

The conference will feature real-world case studies, including an exclusive presentation by the Dutch Canadian Circular Alliance unveiling sustainable biobased construction techniques, featuring a tour of the model biobased house—the first of its kind in North America. Attendees will also learn about tools for a more sustainable Canadian food supply through a presentation on the federally funded, $10M Smart Cities circular economy project, Our Food Future.

Further highlights include a presentation by Jacqueline Cramer, former Minister of Housing, Spatial Planning, and the Environment of the Netherlands, now an emeritus professor in sustainable innovation at Utrecht University, which will delve into the evolution of Europe's circular economy and its impact on businesses' competitiveness. Additionally, a dynamic panel discussion will explore the application of circular economy strategies within residential and office properties, with landlords and developers sharing their experiences and initiatives to reduce embodied carbon, implement circular procurement, minimize waste, promote material reuse, and extend the life of materials—an essential dialogue shaping the future of sustainable development.
