Learn about circular economy from Mette Alberg Mosgaard, Lecturer at Aalborg University. Circular economy is becoming an important potential and challenge for the Danish industry. When organizations initiate their endeavor into more circular products and business models there is both a need for new collaboration partners and internal competence development.
