SUMMARY:Net Zero and Circular Economy in Precincts - a deep dive on transition challenges - Hybrid Session
DESCRIPTION:Special Activation Precincts are unique to regional NSW and bring together planning\, enabling infrastructure and investment to drive economic uplift and job creation. In addition to driving economic prosperity\, the NSW Government is also committed to ensuring precincts align with the State’s ambitious net zero commitments and become circular economy hubs. \nThis panel explores the opportunities and challenges associated with the transition of precincts to net zero and the establishment of circular economies. It will include the perspectives of precincts\, business and research. The discussion will consider practical\, technical and organisational challenges to transition. The session aims to stimulate discussions that can continue after the conference on opportunities for collaboration on pilot projects\, transition pathways and innovation opportunities in precincts. \nIndustry\, academia and practitioners are strongly encouraged to attend. \nRebecca Hicks\, Manager Sustainability and Circular Economy\, RGDC \nAzaria Dobson\, Director\, Sustainability Partnerships and Concierge – RGDC \nRebecca Hardy\, General Manager  – Enirgi Power Storage Recycling \nCameron Bain\, CEO at E3Sixty \nJavier Leal\, Senior Manager Innovation Hubs\, CSIRO \n Register for in person session\n Register for online session

SUMMARY:Removing barriers to scale-up solutions to end plastic waste in the Indo-Pacific  - Hybrid Session
DESCRIPTION:Plastic waste is a global issue. Mismanaged plastic waste can have a detrimental effect on our environment\, health and the economy. \nWithin the Indo-Pacific region\, it is estimated there are between five and ten billion pieces of plastic on the coastline. \nTo turn the tide on plastic pollution and advance a circular economy\, it is crucial to enhance stakeholder collaboration\, leverage existing investment\, attract new sources of funding\, and boost innovation capabilities to tackle plastic waste and translate them into real world solutions across the region. \nThis panel discussion will bring together a group of experts and entrepreneurs to share perspectives on some of the challenges and opportunities to scale-up solutions across the Indo-Pacific. \nModerator:  \nAndrea Sosa Pintos\, Senior Program Manager\, CSIRO’s Indo-Pacific Plastics Innovation Network\nSydney \nSpeakers: \nAmelia Fyfield\, CSIRO’s ASEAN Director\nSingapore \nAngela Noronha\, Director of Growth\, Asia – SecondMuse\nSingapore \nKimberly Bolton\, Principal CEO at Carapac\nSydney \nPeter Tandio\, Entrepreneur at Greenhope \nJakarta\, Indonesia \nThe Greenhope team has  recently won 1st place in the Plastics Innovation Hub Indonesia Accelerator Program.  Read more here \n Register for in person session\n Register for online session

SUMMARY:Making eco-packaging sexy - In person session
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rooland Design \nSuzanne started Rooland with one mission in mind — to eliminate excessive packaging waste. Her passion for sustainable packaging stems from an intimate knowledge of the packaging industry and a deeply rooted ambition for living a sustainable lifestyle. \n\n\nShe is passionate about the intersection of sustainability and innovative design thinking. Suzanne firmly believes that sustainability does not need to come at the expense of great design. \n\n\nShe will showcase different sustainable materials and techniques to enhance your packaging and become greener whilst keeping your branding strong and unique. She has been working with bagasse and mushroom material to create special inserts to hold products\, and she will show you how you can use corrugated material to your advantage. \n\n\nSuzanne is an award-winning designer and art director with a Bachelor’s in package design from Art Centre College of Design. She has contributed creative direction to some of the largest Fortune 500 companies\, such as Starbucks Coffee Company\, Nordstroms\, Nike\, Jamba Juice\, General Electric\, Max Factor\, Revlon\, and K2 Corporation; in addition to contributing to non-profit organisations such as Canopy\, Archipelago & Marine Mammals of California. \n\nSpeaker\n\nSuzanne M Haddon\n\nFounder & Creative Director of Rooland (20 yrs) \nSuzanne founded Rooland & RooCreate with the idea of a worldwide eco-packaging platform available to everyone. She believes making a bold branding statement doesn’t have to be expensive or harmful to the environment. In fact\, by maintaining simple green practices such as reducing the use of petroleum-based inks\, using chlorine-free and recycled materials\, and sourcing like-minded suppliers that offer environmentally friendly methods\, businesses worldwide can engage in eco-friendly commerce as a critical part of creating branding materials. Her initiative to inspire companies to not only think green but to act on it is paving the way for a healthier\, cleaner\, greener earth. \nOur mission: \nRooland & RooCreate delivers smart\, simple & sustainable design solutions that inspire change — one eco-package at a time. \n\n Register for in person session
