Conference explores game-changing potential of the circular economy for Africa

African countries have been urged to scale up circular value chains to accelerate industrialization and job creation in the green economy. The call was made last week during a virtual panel discussion on the circular economy at the 7th Europe-Africa Business Forum.
The circular economy refers to a model of sustainable production and consumption that aims to decouple economic growth from resource consumption. This includes designing products for longer use and ease of repair.
