Closing the Loop on PPE: Bringing Circular Economy Principles to Frontline Solutions
Personal protective equipment (PPE) plays a critical role in safeguarding workers across sectors but it also represents one of the most challenging waste streams to manage sustainably. Our panel brings together leaders from across the industry to explore how circular economy principles are reshaping the future of PPE.
Together, the speakers will examine the full lifecycle of PPE, from material selection and design to scalable reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing models. They’ll discuss emerging technologies, risks and opportunities within the supply chains, the role of procurement in driving market change, and how the practical, regulatory and behavioural barriers can be overcome through creative systems thinking and collaboration.
