Event

The African Circular Economy Network (ACEN) and Circular South Africa (CSA) are excited to invite you to the National Circular Economy Stakeholder Conference—the capstone event of the National Circular Economy Stakeholder Dialogue Series.

Join us as we bring together leading experts from diverse sectors to explore the challenges and opportunities in advancing the circular economy in South Africa. This conference is the culmination of a series of in-depth virtual discussions on key sectors such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and energy.

Be part of this unique opportunity to engage with thought leaders, share insights, and co-create actionable solutions for a sustainable and circular future in South Africa. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or new to the concept, we welcome decision-makers from policy, industry, academia, and civil society to be part of this important conversation.

The objectives of the event include:

Strengthen a systemic approach of circular economy “beyond waste management” in South Africa.
Raise awareness for circular economy as a key lever for socio-economic development in achieving the National Development Plan, decarbonization and addressing the triple planetary crisis.
Facilitate Cross-Sectoral Collaboration: Encourage dialogue and collaboration among key stakeholders from various sectors including mining, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, built environment, water, and mobility.
