According to the United Nations, 2.3 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste is generated each year by households, small businesses, and public service providers. Driven by unsustainable consumption and production practices, this figure is projected to increase to 3.8 billion tonnes annually by 2050 unless urgent action is taken.
Join us to learn how technology and innovation can help combat this growing crisis and move us towards a more sustainable, zero-waste future.
Our panel will discuss how technology can pave the way to a zero-waste future. Our distinguished panel of experts from diverse fields will share their insights, experiences, and innovative approaches to tackling waste reduction through technological solutions.
Organized in collaboration with the AWS Cloud Women Community , we'll explore how major enterprises (including Amazon) are implementing strategies to reduce waste and embrace the circular economy. We'll also discuss how start-ups are innovating to address waste challenges across the supply chain.
