Consuming in a circle
Can we change our economic behavior? With the planet's resources being increasingly overstretched, the warnings are coming loud and clear that the old, linear economic model must go. Experts want us to switch to a circular economy. This means ending the drive to produce and sell as many products as possible, while encouraging consumers to buy secondhand whenever possible. In this episode, we ask just how difficult it is to make that transformation and we take a look at some successful Nordic attempts to promote circular consumption. This episode is the result of a Nordic Talks online event livestreamed from Luxembourg. It was arranged by NOBELUX and the Swedish and Nordic Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg.
