That’s the question our Managing Director, Gerry Docherty, will be helping to explore at the Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition this week.
As manufacturers face increasing material pressures, supply chain vulnerabilities and sustainability requirements, circularity is becoming about much more than environmental responsibility. It is increasingly a question of 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Gerry will join a panel of industry and research experts to discuss what it really takes to scale circular manufacturing, covering:
• Circular business models
• Repair and remanufacturing
• Digital Product Passports
• Critical material recovery
• Supply chain resilience
• How circular solutions can move successfully from pilot to scale
The discussion will also draw on Circulus’ real-world experience and collaborative work with NMIS and the UKRI/EPSRC REACT programme, connecting practical implementation with the next generation of circular manufacturing.
