At Green Week 2023, 15 innovative start-ups will come together for the first time under the joint mission Circular Futures and want to show what a new circular economy could look like.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Increasing CO2 emissions, rising resource consumption and plastic waste in the environment: the consequences of the linear economic system are omnipresent. For the transformation of the economy and society<\/strong> a variety of interlocking solutions are required.<\/p>

Circular Futures: Under this motto, the non-profit organisation ProjectTogether has been bringing together over 100 start-ups and civil society initiatives since 2021 to together new materials, circular design, more sustainable business models and pioneering technologies<\/strong> to bring it to the masses.<\/p>

Supported by the Re-Use Superstore, 15 of these circular start-ups from Circular Futures will be presenting their approaches and work at the International Green Week from 20 to 25 January 2023. The very different initiatives are united by the desire to establish a new form of economic activity and consumption: resource-conserving, regenerative and circular.<\/strong> Together, they already offer existing alternatives to the linear economy: an economy that consistently reduces the use of materials (reduce<\/i>), extends the service life of products and materials (reuse<\/i>) and products at the end of their life are of comparable or even higher quality (recycle<\/i>).<\/p>

Included are Initiatives from the reusable sector<\/strong>, such as MealGood, a provider of individual reusable containers for (large) catering establishments, or the CU reusable system for pre-packed food in the retail sector. <\/p>
