About Circular Coffee + Conversation

The concept is simple. See it as joining others for a virtual morning coffee (or tea) break and hear us chat to a range of local individuals, organisations, and businesses on their thoughts and connections on the Circular Economy (and also often links to in and around Reading). We'll be asking each guest to bring a "Circular Conversation Starter" - so an object, product, anything really, that connects them to the circular economy at home or in their work. 

We ask a few questions ourselves for about 15min and then open up the questions to the people on the call.

If you cannot join for a reason or another, we'll record this series and send you the link. So if you are interested, don't forget to sign-up.

This is our way to support, create and amplify local initiatives!
