Despite the decline in 2020, global energy-related CO2 emissions remained at 31.5 Gt, which contributed to CO2 reaching its highest-ever average annual concentration in the atmosphere of 412.5 parts per million in 2020 – around 50% higher than when the industrial revolution began. (IEA). Nearly half of all global emissions come from our daily interaction with mundane things and our usage patterns. Effectively utilizing a product to its full life cycle, and beyond, and bringing it back into the use streams to be reused for a new or same purpose, is called circularity. Building this circular economy is truly difficult and requires changes in well-laid systems of consumption and production alike. Our event invites leaders from various industries who shall provide a range of insights into the changes we need to make and how far are we in this roadmap to circularity. In the end, our goal is to comprehend - Is Circularity just a fad?
