In today’s world, the imperative for sustainability has never been more pressing. As organisations of all sizes strive towards net zero targets and sustainable business models, the concept of the circular economy emerges as a beacon of hope and innovation. It’s not just about minimising waste; it’s about fundamentally reshaping how we produce, consume, and interact with our resources.

Join us for a thought-provoking seminar where we delve into the heart of the circular economy and its transformative potential. Led by industry pioneers and visionaries, we will explore how redesigning products, services, and business operations can pave the way towards a sustainable future.

Setting the Scene:
Catherine Campbell, Environmental Advisor at BITCNI and Paul McGranaghan, Policy Advisor at DAERA will set the scene for our event and give their perspective on the topic of a Circular Economy.

Case Study:
We will hear from Brett Ross, CEO of RiverRidge Holdings and a director of Full Circle Generation Limited. RiverRidge has undergone substantial investment over the past number of years which has transformed it from a small skip hire and landfill business to the fully integrated waste recovery operation it is today.

Panel Discussion:
Engage with a diverse panel of industry leaders and experts as we explore the benefits, challenges, and opportunities presented by the circular economy. Discover how your organisation can contribute to this paradigm shift and drive meaningful change within your sector and beyond.  Chaired by Keelin McCone, Head of Environment, BITCNI
