LONDON, January 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Closed loop pioneers, Veolia have joined forces with Resource to collaborate on new thinking, products, services and solutions which enable the circular economy.
As delivery partner of Resource's #LivingCircular Conference Theatre, Veolia will give the 11,000+ visitors attending the event, at ExCel London from 3rd - 5th March, a unique insight into circular business practices which will enable them to preserve scarce raw materials.
Keen to hear from anyone with a true innovation to help transform linear into circular business models, Veolia will also host Resource's first ever 'Innovation Den' workshop whereby pre-selected individuals or organisations will pitch their innovations to senior representatives from across the business. Details to be released soon at http://www.resource-event.com.
Estelle Brachlianoff, Veolia's Senior Executive Vice-President UK & Ireland, said: "Knowledge transfer and collaboration is the only way forward to build an economy that can preserve and not over consume scarce raw materials. So if you want to do more than just talking about how to reuse resources but would benefit from practical advice then get in touch as we can help you become more resource efficient."
Stephen Gee, a Founding Director of Resource said: "We are delighted to be working with Veolia whose appetite to drive and deliver value from circularity is helping increase momentum behind the circular economy and turn it into a reality.Resource is a platform where leading organisations looking to collaborate towards a circular economy can meet, learn and network and this year's event will be the best yet."
Veolia's strategy focusing on manufacturing green products and energy is demonstrated by its investing more than £1 billion in new infrastructure between 2012 and 2018 to help its customers reduce their carbon impact.From transforming sludge into plastic, recovering palladium from street sweepings and future-gazing with its 'Imagine 2050' report, the company is turning the once 'traditional' waste, water and energy management industry on its head.
