Bioresource Forum

Circular economy thinking can turn today’s waste into tomorrow’s high value resources. This forum will consist of two sessions around how solids from wastewater can become useful resources by designing circularity. Recommendations to deliver success at scale will be discussed, documented and fed back as part of the drive for action to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Through two panel discussions, key topics for discussion will include:

• Turning waste into value – energy, nutrients, and materials recovery.
• Designing for circularity – systems that reuse, regenerate, and renew.
• Partnerships for progress – how collaboration accelerates adoption.
• Data and digital – enabling smarter circular resource flows.
• Circular leadership – embedding systems thinking in organisational culture.
• Global best in class knowledge sharing.

Delegates should attend to connect across sectors, learn from practical examples, and help shape the priorities that will drive circular economy impact in water and beyond. It will provide an opportunity to learn what works, share what you know through new partnerships, and help define the next steps for circular innovation globally. Delegates will be able to collaborate with policy makers, experts from water, industry, and academia to turn circular ambition into real, measurable progress.

• Explore how circular economy principles can transform water, energy, and material management.
• Showcase best-in-class global examples of circular innovation.
• Drive cross-sector collaboration to identify shared opportunities across the water value chain.
