The 6th biennial conference of the National Cleaner Production Centre South Africa (NCPC-SA) took place at the CSIR ICC in Pretoria, South Africa, on 11 and 12 September 2024.

This year, the NCPC-SA was honoured to have included the collaboration of the UNIDO Global Eco-Industrial Parks Programme, funded by SECO, and the GIZ Sustainable Industrial Areas Programme, creating an impactful international conference aimed at advancing the circular economy and building resilience in industrial stakeholders in the face of the Just Transition and decarbonisation agendas.

The result was the Sustainable Industries Conference South Africa, a truly international yet locally relevant discussion on circularity and decarbonisation in industry. Highlights of the event included:

- Hard-hitting discussions on the real meaning of climate change and the imperative for decarbonisation in industry.
- A focus on enabling tools for applying circularity and low-carbon methodologies.
- Global examples of eco-industrial approaches in industrial spaces.
- Practical applications and case studies.
