The session's primary focus was on expediting the shift from traditional, linear models of production and consumption to a more sustainable, circular approach. This involves rethinking how resources are used and ensuring that packaging materials can be reused or recycled, thereby reducing waste and environmental impact.
Panelists, including representatives from various sectors, shared a wealth of best practices and innovative strategies that have already begun to make a difference. They also highlighted the need for future regulatory frameworks that would support the scaling up of these initiatives, making circularity the norm rather than the exception.
We are proud to be at the forefront of this movement, and we continue to seek out and adopt practices that align with our vision for a circular economy. This dialogue is not confined to the UAE; it resonates across the entire region of Arabia. Our supply chains span multiple markets, and we recognize the influential role industry plays in this transformation.
By advocating for and implementing circular economy principles, we are not only contributing to a more sustainable future for the region but also setting a precedent for global markets.
