Impact Breakfast: Academia meets industry

Rethinking, reusing and reviving in a circular economy

Date

Meet researchers from SINTEF and UiO, along with startups from Oslo Science Park, sharing their insights on the topic of circular economy. The event will feature brief presentations, a Q&A session, and an opportunity to meet the speakers afterwards.

In a circular economy, products and services are designed for longevity, reuse, and recycling. It contrasts with the traditional linear economy by promoting a closed-loop system where materials are kept in circulation, reducing environmental impact and depletion of raw materials.

Senior researcher Kari-Anne Lyng represents the UiO Sustainability Lab and will discuss how the environmental impacts of a circular economy can be measured. SINTEF researcher Mari Wardeberg will share her findings on how national policy strategies can drive the transition towards a circular economy. The companies Grin, Loopfront and Høine are invited to show how transitioning to a circular economy can create new business opportunities.
