Closing the loop: networking for a circular future

Want to help us create a circular campus and collaborate with innovators across King’s College London and beyond?

Want to support King's Climate & Sustainability waste & circularity campaign ‘No time to waste’ ?

This event is a continuation of the King’s Climate & Sustainability networking event series, as well as the official launch for the King’s Climate & Sustainability waste & circularity campaign ‘No time to waste’. 

A collaboration between the King’s Climate & Sustainability team, Net Zero Centre and Centre for Sustainable Business, this event will feature presentations, networking pitches, and a reception to connect professionals, academics, and students in the field of sustainability and circular economy. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore synergies and collaborate on innovative waste management solutions.

We want to facilitate engaging discussions on a range of the topics covered in the pitches – the discussions’ focus will be on the prevention and re-use/circularity of different types of waste (this is based on the King’s waste hierachy).
