Today’s exceptional times are raising the circular economy’s relevance. This event is a part of a webinar series about sharing learnings on how to move into circularity in practice. Previous webinars have presented cases from Volvo, Fiskars, Bergans & Spinnova, Omocom and Looping.

We promise a hands-on approach with many concrete learnings. Short and snappy, about 45 minutes per webinar.

LOOP Webinar 11th June: Designing circular solution to avoid food waste under covid-19 crisis

Keynote case: Call-for-Action by The Restaurant Lab, Martin & Servere & TotalCtrl

How can circular principles be applied rapidly in times of crisis? Covid-19 has disrupted many industries and changed customer behavior overnight. To look at the bright side, it has also speeded up the way new solutions enter the market and allowed new partnerships to be born.

This spring’s final LOOP Webinar on 11th June will present the story of how The Restaurant Lab in Stockholm teamed up with the Swedish leading restaurant supplier Martin & Servera. And the Norwegian start-up TotalCtrl will explain how they use technology to reduce food waste.

In mid March, The Restaurant Lab initiated a circular solution to avoid food waste. Their Call-for-Action has reallocated food surpluses by delivering thousands of free sustainable and nutritious meals to staff and healthcare workers, risk groups and school children sparking a wave of similar initiatives across the country. This proves that circular design thinking and Agenda 2030 mindset can be a toolkit for solutions and disruption in stressful times. The Restaurant Lab founder Anders Breitholtz, (also Material Designer & Circular Economy Strategist) and Kristina Ossmark, Marketing Manager at Martin & Servera will tell the story about their collaboration.

TotalCtrl is a start-up aiming to provide technology that eliminates food waste throughout the value chain to save money, resources, people and the planet. Founder and CEO Charlotte Aschim will tell us how their software can help restaurants digitize and get control over their food inventory based on expirations date.

Circularity means rethinking use of materials. We are used to taking virgin materials and their high quality for granted. In our webinar we present two angels for recycled materials: how does a premium car manufacturer approach use of recycled plastics? What kind of new business opportunities does replacing plastics offer in the construction industry?

LOOP Webinar 4th June: Piloting circular materials in manufacturing industry

Keynote case: Volvo Cars recycled plastics demo car

Volvo Cars’ ambition is that at least 25% of all plastics in cars launched after 2025 will be made from recycled material. It’s an ambitious goal for a premium automotive manufacturer and can’t be done overnight. To understand better how to make it without compromising on quality and design, Volvo decided to build a pilot car of the XC60 T8 plug-in hybrid. How did the project go and what did Volvo learn from this pilot? Sandra Tostar from Volvo Cars will share the insights with us.

Today’s exceptional times are raising the circular economy’s relevance. To share learnings on how to move into circularity in practise, LOOP is launching a Nordic webinar series on circular case studies. Our concrete cases from circular pioneers such as Volvo, Fiskars and Bergans will focus on hands-on venturing, lean piloting, collaborations and present new solutions raising from circularity. We promise a hands-on approach with many concrete learnings. Short and snappy, 30 minutes per webinar.

Circular solutions can’t be built alone. New types of collaborations and out of the box thinking is needed to change the traditional, non-sustainable consumption patterns. The fashion industry emits more carbon than international flights and maritime shipping combined.

LOOP Webinar 29th May: Revolutionary collaboration to change the apparel industry

Key note case: Bergans and Spinnova

Spinnova, the sustainable fibre company, and the sustainable outdoor brand Bergans launched the Collection of Tomorrow, a fully circular, subscription-based takeback and reuse concept that’s revolutionary in the apparel industry. The collection’s first prototype product is a highly sustainable design backpack. Lotta Kopra from Spinnova and Yngvill Ofstad from Bergans share the learnings so far from the collaboration in creating a fully circular fashion concept.
