Webinar: A Circular Economy Primary Sector: The ‘what, why and how’ of it all - July 2020

How can the circular model can be extended to the Agri- and Horticulture sector? And case study from Agrecovery, New Zealand’s rural recycling programme. All in less than 30 minutes Given the multi-billion-dollar opportunity at hand, it’s not surprising that advocates for the transition to a circular economy extend far beyond die-hard environmentalists — but what could this transition look like for the primary sector? And how can we assess how well we’re already performing and where the key opportunities for improvement are? This is where the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Materials Circularity Indicator (MCI) comes in. The MCI tool measures circularity and thus, can enable comparisons between different products and provide a benchmark for improvement. Hear directly from James Goddin, co-author of the MCI methodology how the circular model can be extended to grown materials and produce in the latest webinar in our ‘Straight from the Horse’s mouth’ series. Alec McNeil, Foundation Trustee at Agrecovery, New Zealand’s rural recycling programme, will discuss the unique challenges (and solutions) for the New Zealand agriculture sector.
