Building Circular Island Systems: Waste, Energy & Infrastructure

Location:Main StageTrack:Circular Economy & Sustainable Tourism

How can islands connect the dots between waste, energy, and infrastructure? This session explores practical, system-wide approaches to circularity, turning waste into energy, recovering value from e-waste, and designing infrastructure that supports closed-loop systems.

From strategy to implementation, speakers will share how integrated thinking can unlock resilient, low-carbon island ecosystems.
