Australia has committed to progressing towards a circular economy, with a target to achieve an 80 per cent resource recovery from all waste streams by 2030. This target will only be achieved through meaningful collaborations between businesses across multiple sectors and policy makers.
The Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce’s Sustainability Committee was set up in 2022 to bring together Swedish companies committed to the Sustainable Development Agenda through actions and contributions.
The Embassy of Sweden together with the Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce would like to invite you to a Circular Economy Forum with Swedish companies in Australia that are leading the way in transitioning to a circular economy.
Member companies from the Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce will share their circular initiative action plans, industry solutions and innovation roadmap, identify common challenges, and discuss potential ways forward to accelerate to a low-carbon circular economy and net-zero society.
