Mauricio thinks that it’s time to start a transition towards a Circular Economy in a large scale, not only from large Corporations, but also from SME’s, entrepreneurship & Public Sector; we have to re-think our cities, business models, value chain as a single metabolism and/or interconnected ecosystems through an innovative approach.
