Apikri recently took part in an inspiring webinar on the circular economy organized by the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) Asia. The insightful session brought together hundreds of fair trade members and advocates who joined both online and offline to explore innovative ways to integrate sustainable, zero-waste practices into their daily business operations and supply chains.

The virtual event was skillfully moderated by Sunil, the President of WFTO Asia, who guided the discussions and highlighted the urgent need for producer organizations to champion environmental stewardship. His leadership set an engaging tone, encouraging participants to share best practices and rethink traditional production models to reduce waste and conserve natural resources.

For Apikri, participating in this regional forum provided valuable knowledge and inspiration to further strengthen its commitment to green practices. The insights gained from the webinar serve as an important guide for APIKRI as it continues to align its handicraft production with global circular economy standards, ensuring a more sustainable and responsible future for its artisan community.
