"Circularity is a great opportunity to learn from the leaders, big and small, pioneering circular solutions across industries. The event brought forward tangible insights as well as inspiration–immensely helpful whether you are starting off on your journey or looking to explore new edges."

“Circularity has set the bar for ‘real world real work real impact’ when it comes to transformational sustainability. It’s probably the best forum for brands who want to move past greenwashing toward embedding circularity into their day to day business operations, supply chains and quarterly P&L."

“Circularity creates a key venue for insight sharing and collaboration––both important elements to advancing the circular economy. Across topics from supply chain technology to policy, we have been thrilled to connect with the innovative companies and thought leaders that come together at Circularity.”

“We've attended Greenbiz's Circularity conference every year since inception and the gathering has made a significant impact on our work. Our coalition partners, which span activist-to-industry leaders across the plastic value chain, NGOs, solution providers, and scientists regularly attend. In addition to top tier relevant content, the ability to meet so many leaders all in one place is invaluable.”

“What an incredible opportunity to see the circular economy community in action. From innovators to Fortune 500 corporates, the event brought together a global audience of problem solvers with a shared mission. Left tired and inspired!”

Mill is a household food waste prevention service that is better for your kitchen, and our planet. Mill’s membership-based solution makes it easy to prevent food waste at home, while building an entirely new, closed loop in our food system that conserves the nutrients in uneaten food, and gets it back to farms where it can feed chickens. Every Mill member receives a Mill kitchen bin that shrinks and dehydrates scraps overnight, turning them into nutrient-rich Food Grounds. Once the bin is full – which takes a few weeks – members schedule a USPS pickup for the Food Grounds in the Mill app and send them back to Mill where they can be turned into a chicken feed ingredient. Mill offers people an easy, practical way to have a better, cleaner kitchen experience, reduce potent methane emissions, and participate in a circular loop that keeps food scraps in the food system, where they belong.

Samsara Eco has developed a revolutionary enzyme-based technology that can infinitely recycle plastic waste. The technology breaks down plastics (polymers) into their molecular building blocks (monomers), which can then be resynthesized back into virgin quality plastic in an infinite loop or can be upcycled to more valuable commodities. This world-changing technology ensures that plastics no longer need to be made from fossil fuels or plants (both of which have a significant environmental impact) and won’t end up in landfills or our oceans. Their technology will save an estimated 3 tons of carbon emissions for every ton of plastic recycled.

Upstream® was founded in 2003 as a public-interest, non-profit organization by a group of Zero Waste activists in the US and Canada. While working together in the 1990s, these leaders felt too many environmental groups were only focused on “downstream” or “end of pipe” solutions like recycling and composting. But they knew we can’t recycle or compost our way to a sustainable future. We have to work “upstream” to redesign the systems generating all the waste in the first place.
So we’ve been hard at work for nearly 20 years - ideating, co-creating and accelerating real-world practical solutions to plastic pollution and today’s throw-away culture. We're building a movement to "make throw-away go away" through business, policy and cultural innovation.

Every day in America, we waste 3 times more food than there are mouths to feed. It is not a lack of food that's the issue, rather an ineffective distribution of that food.

Copia’s technology allows businesses to request pickups of their surplus food. Copia’s platform then dispatches a driver to pick up the donation and deliver it to a nonprofit in need. Businesses that partner with Copia benefit from significant tax savings; robust waste tracking analytics to help reduce future waste; and marketing materials to share environmental and community impact with employees and stakeholders. Copia has diverted more than 1 million pounds of edible food from landfills and distributed over $9M worth of food to local nonprofits.
