Classical Circular Economy in the canton of Berne

District President Christoph Ammann welcomes 350 participants to the first edition of the NZZ CE2 conference in the Markthalle in Langenthal. The key players in economy, research and politics will have the chance to think about and develop sustainable business models centred around the circular economy. “Where respect is missing, we destroy our resources, our livelihood,” Ammann, Director of Economic Affairs of the canton of Berne states. Since the classical circular economy has tradition in the canton, sustainable development is the foundation of the way the canton of Berne works towards it. The canton supports this way of doing business, for instance, in collaboration with the Berne University of Applied Sciences and hopes to establish another centre focusing on circular economy, further expanding its involvement.
