What if the way industries handle waste today is reshaping, with finality- the planet’s future? As environmental challenges escalate, EcoBusiness’ impact documentary, ‘WASTED’ takes a deep dive into the critical connections between waste, climate change and the urgent need for industrial transformation.
Premiering last Friday in Singapore, the updated version of WASTED gathered global experts from policy, industry and sustainability sectors to discuss groundbreaking waste-to-resource innovations. The documentary examines how businesses, governments and communities can work together to build a waste-free future by moving away from outdated, linear production models that fuel overconsumption and pollution.
WASTED unequivocally champions circular model practices that redesign supply chains, minimize waste and turn discarded materials into valuable resources. Featuring insights from leaders across industries and policy, the film makes a compelling case for rethinking how materials are produced, used and disposed of -offering a bold vision for systemic change.
A Fresh Take on Waste: Circular Innovation Lab Joins ‘WASTED’ Documentary
With Circular Innovation Lab’s (CIL) participation, the documentary reinforces the importance of embedding circular economy principles into global frameworks and accelerating real-world solutions.
Through the insights of Apoorva Arya, WASTED doesn’t just highlight the problem-it demands a complete rethinking of how industries operate. The documentary challenges businesses to break free from wasteful, linear systems and embrace circular models that turn waste into opportunity.
Industries like fashion, construction and plastics are some of the largest contributors to waste and emissions, making the transition to circular business models more urgent than ever. More notable spotlights include how global stakeholders-business leaders, policymakers and researchers are implementing real-world strategies to close resource loops and minimize environmental impact.
The conversation around waste and sustainability doesn’t end with WASTED -it’s only gaining momentum. As industries, policymakers and innovators push for a circular future, the focus remains on embedding circular principles into global economic and policy frameworks.
Film screenings and platforms like this set the stage for deeper collaborations, high-impact discussions, and transformative strategies that redefine how industries manage resources. We continue working at the intersection of policy and industry to close resource loops, minimize environmental impact and scale sustainable practices that drive real change.
