The circular economy is failing because the post-consumption world remains a blind spot. Waste management, handling over 2B tonnes annually, has long been a black box—overlooked in investment and innovation. Until now.

Hear first-hand from leaders in recycling, material science, and AI as they unite to deploy waste intelligence, infrastructure innovation, and investment, ensuring circularity becomes a reality.
