GREEN WEEK 2014 SATELLITE EVENT IN TIMISOARA
The 2014 edition of Green Week Satellite Events, will take place from 3 to 5 June in Timişoara. The theme of this year will be “Circular Economy, Resource Efficiency & Waste”, entitled “TOGETHER TOWARDS ZERO WASTE IN TIMIŞOARA”.
A circular economy is the logical solution for a resource-constrained world. It's a place where almost nothing is wasted, where the re-use and remanufacturing of products has become standard practice, and where sustainability is built into the fabric of society.
The events that will be organized in Timişoara with participation of Conurbation towns will contribute to unlock the potential of the circular economy, underlining the need to change our way of thinking about design. There will also be a focus on better waste management, and on how to use our resources more efficiently, based on the action included in the Sustainable Energy Action Plans.
