Circular City Labs – Testing reusable packaging systems in cities Cities are generating more and more waste due to high densities of population, restaurants, businesses and industry. Reusable packaging systems are an important part of the circular economy. They address the root of the problem by ensuring that less packaging is used and waste is reduced. They also conserve resources and reduce greenhouse gases. Women play a crucial role in environmentally sustainable consumption, making 70 to 80 per cent of household purchase decisions. Female entrepreneurs can significantly contribute to new business areas of the circular economy. It stands to reason, therefore, that women should be involved in the transition to a circular economy. Objective The new reusable packaging systems in cities reduce waste and greenhouse gases and empower women as environmentally sustainable entrepreneurs. |
