The RCA will host a 2020 webinar series, held on the dates indicated, from 10:00 am to noon MT. The roster includes:
September 22 - Building resiliency of material systems
Rarely have the flaws of our global economy come together so prominently as under our collective experience of COVID-19. Inter-dependent global supply chains, material extraction occurring at a faster rate than regeneration and an economic model focused on delivering profits and infinite growth at the expense of stability and resilience have been the hallmark of the "take-make-waste" tradition. The pandemic only served to pull the curtains on these flaws.
Now, the Recycling Council of Alberta will bring together leading experts from across the globe to share their vision for building resiliency for a future circular economy.
