The circular economy - they call it the "new normal". In contrast, today's global economic system is based on a linear model. For the past 200 years, it has provided economic growth and increased prosperity. But it is putting Earth's ecosystems to a serious test. What is a "circular economy"? What are the biggest technical obstacles before it, what role can it play in Bulgaria and how are life and business changing?
Viewers of Bloomberg TV Bulgaria will learn the answers to these and other questions on 13 November at 8:00 p.m., when the last edition of the year's special TV project "Tech 21: Circular Economy" will be broadcast.
Business representatives who have left behind the "get, produce, use, throw away" model will share their expertise and professional experience. The moderator of the special event will be Denislav Borisov - journalist and communications specialist, part of the marketing team of denkstatt Bulgaria.
The viewers of Bloomberg TV Bulgaria will also be able to learn more about the opportunities for green investments, what the "green future" of financial technologies is, how clean the waters will be and what sustainable energy sources are.

What are the environmental benefits of the circular economy and are there also economic benefits? During "Tech 21: Circular Economy", Diana Dimitrova - director of WWF's Environmental Programmes will analyse the topic.
