The in-person workshop, taking place on November 18, will be led by Gerardo Canales, director of ImplementaSur, and Rodrigo Muñoz, CEO and co-founder of CooValue. It’s aimed at professionals in consumer goods, retail, and agribusiness companies looking to implement circular business models that are measurable and profitable.
On November 18, Gerardo Canales, director of ImplementaSur, will teach the in-person workshop “Circular Economy Applied to the Consumer Goods and Agribusiness Sectors” together with Rodrigo Muñoz Ahumada, CEO and co-founder of CooValue, as part of the Academia de Acción Empresas.
The workshop is designed for professionals in sustainability, operations, logistics, procurement, finance, and management who are handling obligations under Chile’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Law, facing regulatory challenges, or looking to implement and measure circular economy strategies in their organizations.
The workshop comes at a time when the circular economy is becoming a key strategy for improving corporate competitiveness and responding to regulatory and market demands.
The program is organized into two modules. The first will cover the strategic value of circularity and how efficient resource management helps reduce losses, anticipate regulatory risks, and turn waste into value opportunities. It will also include a hands-on exercise to identify value leaks across consumer goods, retail, and agribusiness supply chains.
The second module will present circular business models, case studies, and tools for measuring circular performance, including the ISO 59000 family of standards and the Global Circularity Protocol. The session will wrap up with an exercise to design an initial implementation roadmap.
The methodology combines practical exercises, case discussions, and group reflection, so participants can identify actions that enable them to implement circular models that are measurable and auditable.
“Companies have an opportunity in rethinking and redesigning their consumption and production flows to build more circular business models. At ImplementaSur, we’ve helped companies across many sectors manage their material and waste flows better and see value where they once saw losses. This workshop offers a broad look at that journey, from the fundamentals of the circular economy to its practical application across different business models,” said Gerardo Canales, director of ImplementaSur.
