A Circular Economy for a Sustainable Future

With the Circular Economy model, we get to enjoy the benefits of safe packaging without damaging the environment. The Circular Economy has been identified as a major commercial opportunity and could support the development of new industries and jobs, reducing emissions and increasing the efficient use of natural resources. This Circular Economy Hackathon asks participants to work in a team and select an idea to develop, justify, and present a solution to one of the four hackathon themes linked to the Circular Economy.
