Danone North America’s Merijn Dols on circular food systems

The senior director of open innovation and circular economy for food at Danone North America at Danone, Merijn Dols, came to Circularity 19 to talk about a circular food system. “The circular economy is big in the construction and built world — but food has been lagging,” he said. How can we push it forward? There’s a lot of innovation and design going on in food already, Dols pointed out. So corporations need to focus on creating food lasts longer and is healthier.
