The 4th Circular Economy Symposium, organized by IRUNIVERSE/MIRU, will be held on Wednesday, October 9.

The symposium has been well-received in the past, and this time, we will once again learn from companies active in the circular economy both domestically and internationally. We will also engage in in-depth discussions on regulations and legal aspects related to resource recycling, including yard ordinances. There will be 2 panel sessions, and we aim to create an event where participants can engage in meaningful dialogue. We look forward to your participation and registration.
