As part of its 20th anniversary celebrations, RREUSE will be holding its first episode of the series Let’s get talking on 8 June 2021 @ 3:00 pm CET.
In this episode, Adam Minter will be joining us to explore the social dimension within the circular transition. The discussion will address, among others, different interpretations of what social value means, how it can be better reflected within the circular economy and how to best support it through policies and tools linked to the green transition.
