Join us for Circular City Week 2021, a festival focused on bringing people together to share solutions, inspire local action, and showcase innovations in circular economy practices. Interactive virtual talks will highlight circular approaches across a range of sectors and topics, focused on accelerating sustainable, efficient, and integrated solutions to the climate crisis.
For this year’s festival taking place from March 22-28, we are proud to host the Circular City Week tv studio at the Exchange in downtown Manhattan, where a diverse list of programs will be broadcasted to attend remotely.
