This is going to be a landmark event for all, as we are planning to make it a review conference to showcase the achievements, advantages, success and challenges of the UNIDO project “Promoting the Adaptation and Adoption of Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production through the Establishment and Operation of a Cleaner Production Centre in Ukraine” which has been operating in Ukraine for 8 years.

We invite all our business partners, representatives of international organizations, financial institutions, academia, educational foundations and industrial enterprises whom we have cooperated with during this period, and everyone interested in the conference topic to join this event.

Resource efficiency and circular economy play an important role in making of the environmental and economic policies of the country.

The Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production is the continuous application of preventive environmental strategies to processes, products and services in order to increase efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment. A Circular Economy aims to realise resource circulation. It is not a one-way, but rather a circular flow in procurement, production, consumption, disposal through recycling, reuse, reproduction, resource saving product development, and sharing. Resource efficiency and circular economy allow companies to advance the transition towards inclusive green economies and achieve multiple targets of a number of SDGs, essential to building back better, stronger economies. 

The outcomes of RECP and circular economy are obvious:

         – Economic (increased resource productivity)
         – Environmental (reduced environmental impact)
         – Social (improved well-being)

The conference actually will cover much more important information. Please join us on December 16, 2020.
