Transitioning our linear economy to an economic system aimed at the elimination of waste and the continual use of resources (i.e., Circular Economy) presents a 4.5 trillion dollar opportunity for businesses while increasing environmental sustainability and mitigating climate change.

In this session, Circular Economy Club Boston, a chapter of the Circular Economy Institute, will give a brief introduction to the circular economy and what business opportunities it presents for our region. Participants will have the chance to map out the existing circular economy initiatives in our region, brainstorm ideas, and learn how they can apply circular economy frameworks and models to their businesses, projects, and initiatives. Whether you are an entrepreneur, teacher, non-profit leader, or government representative, you will walk away from this session with an understanding of the opportunities the circular economy provides for your sector.
