Training cum Workshop on Industrial waste circularity

Till a decade back, the economies globally were majorly moving in linear fashion. Starting from the extraction of the resources, its processing, consumption and final disposal into the environment, were negatively impacting the environment. Apart from this chain being a capitalintensive process, the availability of the resources is also an important aspect. With the introduction of term circular economy in the global dictionary, focus is now shifting towards reusing and recycling of the waste as alternate resource. The circularity gap report estimates that only 7.2 percent of the global economy is circular. The circular economy works on the principle that ‘Waste is not only a waste but a resource’. It is a ‘model of production and consumption, which involves circularity (sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling) of existing materials and products as long as possible.

With this background, CSE is organizing a Training cum Workshop on industrial waste circularity during 26-29 November, 2024 at AAETI, Neemli. The training is intended to follow dual mode with the training part highlighting the various aspects of circularity, the limitation and challenges in industrial ecosystem and also showcase the case studies on industrial waste circularity which are already under way in different industrial sectors covering different wastes. The forum will also have panel discussions in workshop mode, focusing on specific wastes and industrial sectors wherein upscaling and capacity building is required in terms of circularity.
