Collaboration for Driving Circular Economy in the Food & Beverage Industry<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n


You are cordially invited to the fourth Knowledge Primer (KP4) <\/strong>titled “Collaboration for Circular Economy in the Food & Beverage Industry” <\/strong>under the Partnership for Sustainability Leadership in Business (PSLB), initiated by the Centre for Civil Society and Governance (CCSG) of The University of Hong Kong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly efficient and convenient, the “take-make-consume-dispose” linear economy that we rely upon is taking a toll on our environment and society. This is especially evident in the resource-hungry and waste-intensive food and beverage (F&B) industry which caters for everyone\u2019s daily needs and gastronomic desires. Reengineering the F&B value chains with the ideas of circular economy presents promising ways to design out waste and drive systemic change for sustainable development. It essentially relies on close collaborations between the F&B businesses and different value chain partners to put circularity into practice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Knowledge Primer <\/strong>will shed light on the approaches to embedding circularity into F&B businesses for enhancing resilience<\/strong>. The KP includes keynote speeches surrounding the concept of circular economy for sustainability and business resilience, and real-life experience of putting the idea into practice in the hospitality industry\u2019s context, as well as a panel discussion where distinguished and seasoned professionals will exchange views on the current progress, challenges, new developments and innovations needed for driving circular economy and sustainability in the F&B industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
