Testimonials

Alexandra
Ciarnau
DORDA Attorneys at Law
Lawyer
The exchange with so many clever and committed minds in the Circular Economy Forum Austria broadens my professional and personal horizons. At the centre is the shared conviction that the economy and the environment should no longer be seen as opposites.

How the world can change today and for new generations and what role the private sector can play in this will be discussed in an interdisciplinary manner.

One of my favourite topics as a lawyer is advertising communication and differentiating it from greenwashing. I am also pleased that I can contribute my IT specialisation when it comes to the use of AI to promote the circular economy, the rapid collection of data for reporting or the creation of new business models. The circular economy and innovation go hand in hand after all

For us, the circular economy is not a trend, but the basis of our business model.

With our circular mattress solutions, we show that sustainability and economic success need not be a contradiction in terms.

As a CEFA member, we want to share our knowledge and work together with other stakeholders on systemic solutions. We firmly believe that only by working together can we truly make the transition to a circular economy.

For me, the Circular Economy Forum Austria is a platform where collaboration is lived.

The open exchange within the network helps to overcome the challenges of transformation, inspire each other and develop new solutions for a resource-efficient economy.

By bringing together key players, the forum creates a breeding ground for transforming visions into concrete action.

As a product design studio, we see it as our task to play an active role in shaping a circular future. For us, the circular economy is not only an ecological imperative, but also a creative driver. It opens up new creative freedom, challenges us and strengthens our responsibility as designers.
