During the Forum, on January 24th, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation will launch the new report on "Cities and the Circular Economy for Food" with the aim to demonstrate how the urban systems of the future could transform cities from the main cause of environmental concerns to the key contributors of their resolution, giving rise to an important saving of resources, new economic activities and the development of new areas.
 
During the panel discussion moderated by Andrew Morlet, CEO of Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Catia Bastioli, CEO of Novamont, will illustrate how cities can play a fundamental role in the valorization of food waste, in closing of the nutrient cycle and promoting the use of biodegradable products to improve the quality of liquid and solid streams which return to soils and water.
