Circularity in Practice: Case of a Zero-Waste Island

What does it take to transform the idyllic Greek island of Tilos into the first zero-waste island? Can this circular model be extended to other islands and even other parts of the world? These are questions the INSEAD Sustainable Business Initiative seeks to answer in its first research collaboration with Polygreen – a network of companies that offers integrated and innovative circular economy solutions worldwide.INSEAD Knowledge speaks to Atalay Atasu, Professor of Technology and Management and academic director of the Sustainable Business Initiative at INSEAD and Imran Gill, CEO for the Middle East at Polygreen. Our guests speak about the Just Go Zero Tilos initiative and how Tilos could well be the role model to help organisations take sustainable and circular systems from inspiration to execution.
