🔄 The need for true circularity in supply chains has never been more urgent. Achieving circularity means rethinking production, consumption, and disposal, from upstream product design and material selection to downstream recycling infrastructure and data systems. 🤝 But how can companies better collaborate across the value chain to close the loop? Ahead of the summit, we spoke to leaders at LanzaTech, Polytag Limited, Biffa, TrusTrace, WRAP, and Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, about how circular supply chains can become a scalable reality. 📖 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/ePjfrzYw Freya Burton Alice Rackley Shameek Ghosh Charles van Reij MBA Claire Shrewsbury Roger Wright
