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.
Next Wednesday, 15 December 2021, the UPU will invite representatives from postal operators, the logistics industry, regulators, multilateral agencies, wider postal sector players and other climate advocates to gather for a short but rich online discussion on the role of the circular economy in reversing worrying climate patterns.
