Martin Geissdoerfer: Circular Economy

Consumer Affairs, Environment, Fashion & Beauty

The holiday season, particularly Boxing Day, is a time of heightened consumer activity. But behind the sales and celebrations lies a growing concern: the environmental impact of our take-make-dispose culture. This linear economic model contributes to overproduction, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions, posing significant challenges to sustainability.

Hear about the concept of the circular economy – a transformative approach that prioritises reuse, repair, and recycling to keep materials in use for as long as possible.

Guest: Associate Professor Martin Geissdoerfer, Director of Circular Economy Labs at the Monash Sustainable Development Institute
