Dear Members and Friends It won’t be long before we have more plastics than fish in the world’s oceans unless we radically re-think waste management. The aim of a Circular Economy is to eliminate waste—not just from manufacturing processes but throughout the life cycles and uses of products and their components. There is  a whole  world of  business  opportunities  out there if we just focus and re-think and re-design and make what we produce easy to re-use. I invite you to join us at our 6 April 2017 event entitled: “Can Singapore do for Waste what it has done for Water?” You’ll learn about the many parallels between Singapore’s water success story and the now global priority to build a circular economy where we make things which can be re-used.  Some key takeaways from the session will include: •  How Singapore currently treats waste and the economic opportunity in driving circularity • Why many governments and businesses are driving the Circular Economy • New regulations in Asia affecting manufacturers and brands and • Best business practices – globally and in Asia Come and be inspired and seize your next business opportunity. Have a great week ahead. Warmest regards Victor Mills Chief Executive
