Geneva, 12 September, 2024 – The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) announces that Climeworks, a global leader in carbon removal, has joined as its newest member. 

Climeworks develops, builds, and operates direct air capture plants to permanently remove CO2 from the air. In addition, the company offers individually curated portfolios of high-quality carbon removal solutions to its customers that comprise best-in-class engineered and nature-based approaches.

By partnering with WBCSD, Climeworks aims to collaborate with industry leaders to scale up carbon removal solutions, a critical component of the net-zero journey outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This collaboration provides Climeworks with an opportunity to contribute its expertise in direct air capture and carbon removal to a broader, collective effort essential for meeting global climate targets.

We are delighted to join WBCSD and strengthen the global push towards achieving net-zero emissions together. While reducing emissions is essential, the IPCC clearly states that we must also actively remove existing and hard-to-abate CO₂ emissions from the atmosphere to reach true net zero. We look forward to bringing high-quality carbon removal into the bigger conversation about what corporate sustainability looks like today, an effort where WBCSD is paving the way.

- Matthias Henzgen, Director of Strategic Alliances at Climeworks

Through this partnership, Climeworks hopes to enhance the effectiveness of climate action by educating stakeholders on the importance of carbon removal in corporate climate strategies, advocating for supportive policies, and integrating these solutions into broader sustainability frameworks. The collaboration will empower both Climeworks and WBCSD members to accelerate the global transition to a sustainable future.

We welcome Climeworks to our community with great excitement. They have been a leading force in putting high-quality carbon removal on the map of climate solutions. Together, we will work to realize the potential of carbon removal in achieving a world where 9+ billion people live well within planetary boundaries.

- Peter Bakker, President and CEO of WBCSD, expressed his enthusiasm for Climeworks’ membership

Climeworks’ sustainability mission goes beyond goals; it forms the company’s purpose. With its service to permanently remove CO2 from the air for companies, organizations, and individuals, Climeworks is committed to mitigating global warming and ensuring that future generations inherit a healthier planet.

By joining WBCSD, Climeworks reinforces its commitment to lead, innovate, and drive transformative climate solutions that balance the needs of people and the planet. Together with WBCSD and its members, Climeworks is poised to make a meaningful impact on the global sustainability agenda.

Australasian Waste Recycling Expo debuts as ReGen at ICC

Australasian Waste Recycling Expo debuts as ReGen at ICC

20 Feb, 2025

Australia’s circular resource exhibitors, buyers and thought leaders are set to attend ReGen | Australia’s Circular Resource Expo, taking place on 23–24 July 2025 at ICC Sydney.

The two-day trade event, organised by Diversified Australia, marks the evolution of what was previously known as the Australasian Waste Recycling Expo, a longstanding brand dedicated to resource management and waste reduction for over 15 years.

The rebrand to ReGen reflects the expo’s expanded scope and emphasis on the circular economy, welcoming an array of innovative exhibitors, experts and emerging professionals committed to reducing waste, promoting resource efficiency and fostering sustainable markets.

“At Diversified Australia, we’re proud to produce events that drive positive industry change,” said Ali Lawes, event director for ReGen at Diversified.

“ReGen embodies our commitment to equip and empower industry leaders and practitioners in support of Australia’s ambitious 2035 targets for waste elimination, resource circulation, and pollution reduction.”

ReGen will showcase technical displays, offer vital industry insights and feature keynote addresses, panel discussions and networking opportunities.

The program aims to help attendees — from seasoned experts to newcomers — navigate their roles in creating a circular economy that keeps resources in use, minimises waste and regenerates natural systems.

As part of its evolution, ReGen will incorporate Circularity, Australia’s original circular economy conference, into its 2025 education program.

Since its launch in 2022, Circularity has served as a platform for industry practitioners to discuss Australia’s transition to a circular economy.

Now integrated into ReGen, Circularity will reach a broader audience, offering free sessions on topics such as circular product design and sustainable waste management — ensuring these critical insights remain accessible to all attendees.

For the last three years Circularity has been proudly presented by Planet Ark’s Australian Circular Economy Hub in partnership with Diversified Australia.

Planet Ark CEO Rebecca Gilling said that integrating the country’s leading circular economy event into ReGen would offer even more impactful opportunities to drive Australia’s circular transition.

“The inclusion of Circularity into ReGen is a significant step forward in promoting circular economy principles on a national scale in collaboration with the waste and recycling industry,” Gilling said.

“At Planet Ark, we are thrilled to see Circularity evolve into a broader platform, ensuring critical conversations about sustainable resource management and circular product design reach more professionals and innovators than ever before. This partnership underscores the importance of collaboration in building a circular Australia.”

The expo’s name, ReGen, represents both the regenerative practices it champions and the generational transformation required to meet sustainability goals.

ReGen invites participants to “Rethink, Redesign, Repurpose, and Renew” as they contribute to a circular and sustainable future for Australia.
