I learned a lot about the composting efforts in cities large and small. These efforts are key to our strategy for circular product design.
Food and facilities were good and public transportation access was great!
I look forward to a future conference to assess progress toward a circular economy and zero waste.”

Waste Challenges Facing Governments and Corporations
The UN has set standards for corporations and organizations to implement processes, educate and transition their employees to sustainability and waste mitigation.
The cost of waste is steadily increasing, organizations are throwing out excess material as waste, as a result they are throwing out money with the trash.
The general public perception, policymakers and rating agencies are adding pressure at an exponential rate. Companies will need to provide transparency and adapt quickly to stay ahead of regulation and social changes.
