Background

India, with its resource-intensive economy and rapidly growing population, holds significant potential to lead the circular economy, driving sustainable growth and fostering an equitable society. The circular economy not only focuses on resource efficiency and recycling but also helps reduce waste, conserve resources, and mitigate climate change, aligning with India’s NDC targets, UNSDGs, and LiFE goals.

Building global tech partnerships for a sustainable future requires cross-sector collaboration. By aligning technology with sustainability, we can create a resilient, equitable, and environmentally sound future.

In this context, CII will host a Symposium on "Technologies Enabling Waste to Worth Transformation" on the occasion of World Environment Day, 6th June 2025, at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. The event will focus on "Shaping a Resilient Tomorrow through a Circular Economy" and serve as a key platform to advance India’s commitment to achieving Net Zero waste.

Objective

The CII Symposium in Technologies Enabling Waste to Worth Transformation aims to bring together global leaders, policymakers, industry experts, academics, and researchers to collaborate and exchange knowledge on sustainable waste management practices. The symposium aims to facilitate discussions on innovative strategies, technologies, and policies that promote waste reduction, recycling, and circular economy principles to create a cleaner and healthier environment for future generations.
