CEGESTI Foundation organizes a workshop where international guests will present experiences on the circular economy. The circular economy offers benefits such as: socioeconomic growth, environmental well-being, optimization of resources, reduction of the consumption of raw materials and use of waste.
Costa Rica set out to build the first circular economy public policy in the region, and with it, be an international environmental benchmark. For this reason, on November 24th and 25th, it will hold the workshop “Public policies in circular economy: A new vision on resource management, business models and the prevention of marine waste”.
Those who wish to participate in the workshop should only register. The event will be at the Barceló San José Palacio Hotel, and will have the participation of international guests from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, among others.
