Split into two sessions, the morning session will look at the wider issues of sustainability and what they mean at a practical level for businesses, before looking at the available funding and support through the REMake programme, WRAP and C-Tech Innovation, using examples to highlight the role of resource efficiency in enduring commercial success.
