This B Corp Global Climate Summit session, part of the Day 2 Africa Regional Session, explores the circular economy. This model aims to eliminate waste, boost resource productivity, and redefine how we design and reuse resources. With food waste alone contributing 3.3 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, and the linear economy's flaws exposed by COVID-19, the circular economy offers a new paradigm with an estimated $4.5 trillion annual economic potential by 2030.

The session will delve into applying circular principles to food waste management, how businesses adopt circularity for resilience, and real-world company case studies. It will also discuss the circular economy's potential for a green post-pandemic recovery. Speakers include Grace Wachori, Martha Nalweyiso, Matt Homewood, Daniel Chege, and Rita Atuti.
