Yorkshire Sustainability Festival – Day One: Circular Economy

How do we achieve living in a circular economy from manufacturing, tech, economy and finance to, going green.

Tue 18 Jun | £225

09:00 - 17:00

Leeds

Cloth Hall Court, Quebec St, Leeds LS1 2HA

We believe that transitioning to a circular economy is a fundamental part of building the new sustainable world of the future, so we want to deep dive into the topic by making it the thread that runs through our conference on day one.

We’ll be hearing from world-renowned experts on the doughnut economics model, how AI can help us to bring to life a circular economy, what skills will be needed in a circular economy, how we create new manufacturing methods to turn ‘waste’ into a new product, and what our food system will look like in the circular economy.

Day one focuses on the themes of circular economy, covering:

  • Economy and Finance
  • Manufacturing
  • Going Green/SME Support
  • Skills
  • Waste
  • Food
  • Tech

Who attends

Whether you’re a seasoned sustainability expert or just starting out, this conference is for anyone who wants to hear from experts in the field and learn more about initiatives that are already happening across Yorkshire and the UK.

The Yorkshire Sustainability Festival is a place where industry thought leaders come together to network with like-minded individuals all committed to making a difference. We welcome everyone from the start-up community through to established businesses who want their voices heard on issues that matter.

You can also sign up for Day 2 of our conference – Future Cities.
