The Dutch Centre hosts an evening on the circular economy, focusing on consumer products. Dutch and British leaders, who apply this business model, will talk about their experiences, their challenges and the future of the circular economy. The audience will have the opportunity to get involved as we discuss how consumers can play a role in shaping a more sustainable future. Dutch journalist and NOS correspondent for the UK & Ireland, Tim de Wit, will moderate a panel discussion with the following participating brands:
Jeroen Kelder, trustee of the Dutch Centre will also take part in the discussion. He is an experienced investor in sustainability projects and has recently set-up Infinity Recycling, an impact fund dedicated to building a circular economy for plastics. On a sustainable note: single-use plastic bottles are not necessary, and are directly responsible for a lot of waste. Spread the message with your own Dopper – which you’ll get for free at the event!
