(IEA) Nearly half of all global emissions come from our daily interaction with mundane things and our usage patterns. Effectively utilizing a product to its full life cycle, and beyond, and bringing it back into the use streams to be reused for a new or same purpose, is called circularity. Building this circular economy is truly challenging, and requires changes in well-laid systems of consumption and production alike. Our event invites leaders from various industries who shall provide a range of insights into the changes we need to make and how far are we in this roadmap to circularity. In the end, our goal is to comprehend - Is Circularity just a fad?		</p>	</section></main><footer data-controller="FooterBreakpoints" data-controllers-bound="FooterBreakpoints" id="yui_3_17_2_1_1646334706408_132" role="contentinfo">	<p>		Contact: <a href="mailto:circulareconomy@fas.harvard.edu">circulareconomy@fas.harvard.edu</a>	</p></footer>
