The renowned international consultant PricewaterhouseCoopers, supported by the know-how acquired through the elaboration of several studies in the scope of the circular economy, specifically, in forest-based industries, addressed the development potential for companies by implementing circularirity strategies in the various steps of their process.
Finally, opportunities for valuing and modernizing professional careers in the sector were addressed by the training center for the wood and furniture industry, CFPIMM.
