Circular Economy Conference: From Frameworks to Practice - a research-based Action Lab accelerating Australia's circular economy transition - Nov 2026

📅 26 November 2026 – 27 November 2026 | 📍 CSIRO Discovery Lecture Theatre

CERN APAC’s Annual Conference in 2026 explores the theme “From Frameworks to Practice — a research-based Action Lab accelerating Australia’s circular economy transition”.

Australia has built a strong strategic foundation for the circular economy, with national and jurisdictional frameworks now setting a clear direction for change. The next challenge is implementation. Progress has been uneven, and significant barriers remain around policy coherence, market signals, research and development, technology adoption, measurement, and coordination across sectors.

This conference is designed to help close that gap. Rather than revisiting broad aspirations, the program will focus on practical insights, grounded in research evidence, that can support real progress in Australia’s circular economy transition.
