DESCRIPTION: Title: Transitioning from a Linear Economy to a Circular Econo
 my \n\n Abstract: All nations recognise the need to transition to a circul
 ar economy but there are many challenges/barriers to doing this. In this s
 ession\, we will discuss what has been happening in Australia over the pas
 t few years as governments\, businesses\, industry associations and academ
 ia introduce relevant policies and practices that support transformation f
 rom a linear economy to a circular economy. This includes recent/current w
 ork by the Circular Economy Ministerial Advisory Group and the Productivit
 y Commission\, as well as the actions being taken by organisations such as
  the Australian Furniture Association. The ongoing research at Monash Univ
 ersity provides empirical evidence relating to the adoption and implementa
 tion of circular economy at the local level. The discussion will reflect o
 n the recommendations being made to governments and the challenges/benefit
 s experienced at the local level. Opportunities for research collaboration
  on this topic will be explored. \n\n Bio: Prof Sohal’s teaching and res
