A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy(make,use, o 11w— dispose)in which we keep resources in use fIq or ,�` as long as possible,extract the maximum value c from them whilst in use,then recover and circulars regenerate products and materials at the end economy of each service life.

"Clearly the circular economy represents both an obligation and an outstanding opportunity for many actors in the water sector." , 2 WEX GLOBAL 2019 PARTICIPATION • The Water and Energy Exchange(WEX)hosted their annual Global Conference in Portugal,Monday, March 4 through Wednesday,March 6,2019. • Director of Engineering and Technical Services Jean- Marc Petit was invited to participate at the WEX Global conference to be on a panel to discuss Improving Energy Efficiency in Water and Wastewater Treatment. • WEX waived the conference registration and paid for hotel accommodations.Travel expenses was paid by Mr. Petit.
