Regulatory requirements affecting packaging, product design and supply chain communication stem from an initial funding source, whether led by industry, government or consumer organisations. Investors, consumers, and regulatory bodies increasingly demand proof of environmental stewardship, across the full value chain.

Our webinar will shed light on the financiers behind the transition to the circular economy. Using the electronics sector as a case study, we will demonstrate how initial investments can translate into future regulatory requirements and risks to product supply chains.

The webinar will cover

• ● Identify the key powers financing regulatory change and anticipate regions where new circular economy expectations may arise

  ● Inform their teams about the evolution of circular economy requirements, from early-stage funding to legislation

The webinar will benefit

• All businesses looking to gain further insight on circular economy developments, including competitor research and stakeholder demands

• Product stewards aiming to maintain and improve risk management procedures
