Thank you to Shri Bhupender Yadav ji, Hon'ble Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, for joining us at the ClI Circular Economy Conference 2026 and sharing his insights on building circular systems that make recycling efficient, high-quality, and economically viable. A clear message emerged from the discussions: circularity must move from ambition to action. With only 6.9% of materials entering the global economy coming from recycled or recovered sources, the opportunity and urgency are evident. The launch of the ClI Circularity Metric is a significant step in this direction, enabling businesses to measure progress, benchmark performance, and identify opportunities to accelerate circularity. As we transition from value chains to value circles, stronger markets for recovered materials, greater transparency, and deeper collaboration will be critical. By turning commitments into measurable outcomes, Indian industry can enhance competitiveness while advancing the vision of a Viksit Bharat. #CII #ANANDGroupIndia #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Circularity #ViksitBharat2047 @byadavbjp @FollowCII @ciicesd @Jaisal_Singh
