Ents Putniņš, Strategy Director at Africa Zero Waste, participated in the Circular Economy Forum in November 2025. The event brought together leading voices from Europe and beyond to discuss innovative approaches to resource efficiency, sustainable production, and waste reduction.

Throughout the forum, Putniņš engaged in valuable discussions with representatives of international organizations working in the circularity, recycling, and zero-waste sectors. These conversations highlighted global best practices and explored opportunities for deeper cooperation between African and European partners, particularly in transforming waste streams into economic and social value.

As part of the mission of Africa Zero Waste, Putniņš emphasized the importance of knowledge exchange, green innovation, and international collaboration to support waste-reduction initiatives across communities. His presence at the forum contributed to strengthening cross-regional partnerships and promoting a more circular and sustainable future.
