Circular Economy In Action Forum Ceremony

After a successful 1st cycle in 2025, the 2nd Global Circular Economy Forum & Awards Ceremony 2026 marked another milestone that brought together circular economy leaders, pioneers, practitioners, explorers, and researchers from across industries and supply chains to celebrate circularity in action.

The event featured H.E. Eng. Alya Abdelrahim Al Harmoodi, Assistant Undersecretary at the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), gracing us as our Chief Guest and giving us an inspiring speech along with keynote addresses, thought-provoking speeches, and networking opportunities.

We proudly recognised outstanding organisations in the Circular Economy Award across two of our three categories, with selected applicants presenting their best circular practices, projects, and products who demonstrated that circularity is no longer just a concept, but a measurable reality across industries.

What is Circular Economy?

Circular economy is an economic system that uses a systemic approach to maintain a circular flow of resources, by recovering, retaining or adding to their value, while contributing to sustainable development.
