Description of the session:
Panel Discussion: Tools for Transformation - System Change for a
Zero Waste Future
Achieving zero waste requires more than good intentions—it demands
deep systems change. In this panel, leaders from business, legal,
academic, and innovation spheres come together to explore how their
sectors can enable, accelerate, or obstruct a zero waste
future.
How can business models shift from extraction to regeneration? What
legal tools and policies are needed to drive accountability and
equity? Where is research shining new light—or holding old
assumptions in place? And how can innovation challenge the status
quo without reinforcing it?
This conversation will surface tensions, opportunities, and
cross-sector insights to help us build a more circular, just, and
resilient Aotearoa.
