THU 29.4.2021 / 5 p.m.
A tripling of global resource consumption and a quadrupling of the amount of e-waste generated in the last 40 years illustrate that it has not yet been possible to decouple economic growth and resource consumption. A change of course is urgently needed to curb climate change and environmental degradation. At Deep Space LIVE, entrepreneur Sepp Eisenriegler provides insight into the topic of the circular economy and tells how the extended lifespan and more intensive use of products could help to reduce global resource consumption and pollutant emissions.
