Most human activities that use water, produce wastewater. As the overall demand for water grows, the amount of wastewater produced is continuously increasing worldwide.
In Asia, as the population and economies grow, the supply of clean water and the quality of water are ever increasingly important issues.
The EU has some of the highest environmental standards and policies that protect our natural habitat, keep air and water clean, ensure proper waste disposal, improve knowledge about toxic chemicals and help businesses move toward a sustainable economy.

In Singapore, natural resource constraints and its commitment toward environmental preservation have made achieving resilience and sustainability in its Water & Environment Industries a priority.
The circular economy, the model of “closing the loop” to minimise waste generation has been hailed as the way forward to do so. The successful development of a circular economy hinges on the collective effort across the industry ecosystem and an integrated approach across water, material and energy management.
How are leaders across the public and private spheres committed to driving circularity? What are the new opportunities and challenges for businesses and how can players collaborate to transition away from a take-make-dispose model in our lives?
Experts from the government, key trade and industry associations and businesses will share their insights on the policies, initiatives and best practices adopted to drive the circular economy while highlighting some of the challenges and business opportunities.
