From September 21-25, the Green Office is organizing Circularity Week, where we will be focusing on how we move from a throwaway economy to one built on reuse, repair, and resource-sharing.

Through lectures, workshops, panel discussions, and a bit of celebration, we will examine questions such as:

  • What does a circular economy actually look like in practice – and how far is Norway from it?
  • Who is responsible for closing the loop: consumers, businesses, or the state?
  • Can we talk about overconsumption and fast fashion without falling into shame or guilt?

Join us and explore what circularity entails and how we can help make it happen! Here is an overview of the events. Details about the events will be published on an ongoing basis.
