About Us
Associate Professor Martin Anda of Environmental Engineering at Murdoch University, welcomes you to the International Circularity Conference (ICC2027) to be held at Murdoch University in Perth Western Australia from 7 – 13 February 2027. What an exciting time to be sharing ideas, presenting the latest research, and discussing circular systems’ technology, policy, economy and social issues. The present paradigm clearly presents us with many challenges while at the same time making way for new ideas and innovation. At no time in history has there been a more crucial need for the development and practice of new thinking in the design, reuse and recycling of products that we manufacture. The source and nature of by-products, co-products and their utilization, are to be addressed by suppliers, consumers governments, industry, academia, and financial institutions in this conference.
