Accelerating circular economy in the Nordics

Join our webcast exploring the business and environmental opportunities of increasing circularity across the Nordic nations. 

The Nordic countries have amongst the highest levels of raw material consumption per capita globally, significantly exceeding European and global averages. High material footprint is closely linked to severe negative environmental impacts, pushing the boundaries of planetary sustainability.
