RBE Kick-Off Workshop

From APEC HRDWG Wiki

The Recycling-Based-Economy (RBE) Kick-Off Workshop was a part of the APEC project Capacity Building for a Recycling-based Economy (RBE) in APEC. This project was proposed by the APEC Human Resource Development Working Group's Capacity Building Network. This project aimed to start the challenging task of establishing an APEC-wide system for sustainable development through identifying issues and challenges of implementing the 3 R's (Reuse, Reduce & Recycle), sharing best practices of recycling systems used in selected industries, and establishing a network of experts to continue to share information and build a workable RBE system in APEC.
