From reuse and repair hubs to zero-waste food retailers, high streets are becoming laboratories for circular systems. Join us to explore how circular economy schemes can cut waste whilst boosting local economies on the high street and supporting London’s transition to net zero. Delivered alongside ReLondon and with a panel of circular businesses and local authority partners, we will discuss the levers available to local authorities and high street stakeholders to implement circular programmes.
Join us to
- Hear from Southwark Council and high street businesses trialling reuse and zero-waste schemes on the high street.
- Learn about grants, engagement strategies and delivery models from ReLondon’s High Streets Beyond Waste programme.
- Gain insights into practical steps to broker and support circular economy projects.
