Switching to the Circular Economy: Modos Training for D8 Businesses
MODOS is a circular economy training programme for micro, small and medium size enterprises developed for Dublin City Council and the Waste Management Plan Lead Authority (WMPLA). The Digital Hub is now teaming up with Dublin City Council to deliver MODOS training for businesses in Dublin 8 in June 2021.
The programme will be delivered virtually. The trainers will make each session interactive with a mix of presentations, best practice case studies, exercises, and discussion to help participants apply the learning to their business.
What is the circular economy?
Our current economic model is based on a linear ‘take-make-waste’ approach, which is costly for businesses and bad for the environment. By contrast, a circular economy is efficient and environmentally sustainable. In a circular economy, products, components and materials are kept in use for as long as possible. Supply and production chains operate in ‘closed-loops’ making them less wasteful and more resilient. New business models based around leasing, re-manufacturing, recycling, and upcycling become possible, saving businesses money and reducing environmental impacts.
Adopting circular economy principles can help your business:
- Save money, reduce waste, and increase resilience
- Boost competitive advantage and brand reputation
- Unlock new business opportunities that also help the environment
Who is this training programme suitable for?
MODOS is suitable for all businesses but is particularly relevant for those from the following sectors: construction and the built environment, food, retail, manufacturing, textiles and fashion, electronics, plastics, and packaging.
