5. Cross-cutting

Theme ‘Cross-cutting’ groups a set of sessions that thematically address one or more of the other themes. Some sessions address topical circularity issues; either a specific product, such as circular textile or waste streams and novel products that will enable the sustainable production of safe food for humans and feed for animals. Next to the topical circularity issues, this theme also addresses overarching subjects that relate to how to use visions of a future circular world to assess the implementation potential of the concept of a circular society. Lastly, this theme shows examples of studies that have a more holistic view of the system, where both the environmental as well as the economic consequences of adopting circularity are assessed at different spatial scales.
