Singapore

THE transition to a circular economy is something which is not only environmentally sustainable, but is also imperative to the survival of certain businesses, said a group of panellists at a dialogue during the Ecosperity Conference on Thursday.

Edwin Keh, CEO of the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textile and Apparel, broke down the concept of circularity, saying: "Circularity is about making things robust, so that you can use them for a very long time."
