Trash to treasure? Lessons learned from financing recycling
This session explores the financial and systemic challenges faced by circular economy businesses, with a focus on plastics and critical raw material recycling. Through real-world cases, including recent bankruptcies in the Netherlands, we’ll uncover root causes like high operational costs, misaligned policies and market barriers that hinder circular solutions. Participants will gain actionable insights into innovative policies, financing strategies and partnerships to support circular businesses globally, with lessons particularly relevant for Brazil and beyond. Join us to explore how to align economics with circularity and drive a global transition with a two-pager action letter as outcome.
