WCEF2020 conference in Toronto postponed to 2021

May 22, 2020

The major circular economy event, the World Circular Economy Forum, will be postponed until 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A virtual WCEF online event in September 2020 will address how the circular economy can help reboot the economy.

Rescheduling the annual forum to 2021 will ensure that all parties can participate and focus on the issues to be discussed at this vital conference, as well as allow more time for the necessary preparations to take place.
