FEATURED: Circular economy in postal sector

The circular economy seeks to reduce and eventually eliminate waste by circulating resources and extending the lifetime of materials and products. On 15 December 2021, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) will host a one-off virtual event to highlight how posts can embrace the circular economy to achieve their sustainability targets. The event is being organized post-COP26, held last month in Glasgow, to assist designated operators to transform their environmental commitments into positive actions.

Held under the theme "Posts, Planet and Economies: A circular route to postal sustainability", the discussion will feature:
  • Stephan Sicars, Managing Director, Environment and Energy Directorate, United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO)
  • Janet Salem, Economic Affairs Officer, Circular Economy, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP)
  • James Chin Moody, CEO, Sendle – Australia's first 100% carbon neutral shipping service
