We're excited to present the 7th edition of the Bring It Back Event, exploring the theme "How It’s Made," in March 2025.

Who doesn't remember Moloko's iconic 1999 hit, Bring It Back, Sing It Back ? While much has changed since then, the idea of 'bringing it back' has never been more relevant- only now, we call it circularity. But what does it truly mean to be circular? Who is driving this movement, and what does it take to transition from a linear to a circular economy?

Making Sense of Circularity

Circularity is more than just a buzzword- it's a necessary shift in how we produce, consume and reuse resources. The concept challenges the traditional 'take-make-dispose' model and replaces it with a regenerative approach that minimizes waste and maximizes value. But how do we make this shift? What steps are required, and who is already leading the way?

These are the questions at the heart of the Bring It Back Circular Event Series.
