SUMMARY:The Circular Economists Meet-up: Rotterdam
DESCRIPTION:We're bringing together three very different but connected stor
 ies about what circularity looks like when it starts becoming real.\n\n 	E
 mma van der Leest is building an early-stage startup around a PFAS substit
 ute made from mycelium\, Fungkee Supercoating. Replacing forever chemicals
  with mushrooms.\n 	George Birch founded Oyster Heaven to repopulate the
  North Sea with oysters. It regenerates marine ecosystems while saving com
 panies money on dredging and coastal defence. Ecology and economics in the
  same sentence.\n 	Narina Mnatsakanian from Regeneration.VC brings the 
 investor lens.\n\nTogether with The Circular Economists Intelligence and
  WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development\, we're wor
 king on measuring circular impact for investment through the Global Circul
 arity Protocol — not just inside a company's own walls\, but across its 
 entire value chain. If you want to fund circularity\, it needs to be measu
 rable.\n\nWe'll close with the question that ties it all together: what do
 es it take for a company like Emma's or George's to become investable fo
 r a fund like Narina's?\n\nMaterials. Ecosystems. Capital.\n\nCome and se
 e the complete story from material innovation to ecosystem regeneration to
  circular investment.\n\nThe Van Nelle Fabriek was built in 1931 with work
 ers' health\, light\, air and ergonomics designed in from the start. Exact
 ly the right setting for this conversation.\n\nRegister
