Reconomy's Media Library: Explore Circular Economy Videos

What is the circular economy? ♻️ It’s more than a buzzword; it’s a practical shift in how we design, use, and reuse products to eliminate waste. In this clip from our latest Green Room episode, the panel breaks down the core idea behind the circular economy: ✅ Thoughtful product design ✅ Smart reuse strategies ✅ Closing the loop back into the supply chain It’s a simple but powerful concept and one everyone can get involved in. 🎥 Watch the full episode now to hear how circular thinking is shaping a more sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/ed33nCAX #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #GreenRoom

♻️ Proof of Concepts Part 1 Recap Last week, we teamed up with Rheaply to explore how circularity is helping companies across the U.S. survive and thrive. Moderated by our Director of Built Environment, Ren DeCherney, the panel featured leaders from Haworth, Arconic, GameChange, and Rheaply. From closed-loop office chairs and infinitely recyclable aluminum to regional reuse ecosystems and data-driven take-back programs, each story showed how circularity is becoming a business advantage. The message was clear: circularity creates new opportunities, deeper customer relationships, and resilient business models when the right stakeholders, systems, and data come together. 🔗 Read the full recap here: https://lnkd.in/e4tFXNeD 👀 Keep an eye out for Parts 2 & 3 of the Proof of Concept Series on our events page: https://lnkd.in/eZQcMpic #C2CCertified #CircularEconomy #CircularBusiness #SustainableDesign #MaterialHealth #BuiltForTheFuture #CircularityInAction

The global economy remains largely linear (take–make–waste), with 93% of materials ending up as waste. Embracing circularity is critical to building resilient, low-carbon economies, competitive business models, and stronger supply chain risk management. Grateful for an insightful discussion on accelerating this shift—thank you to everyone who made it possible!

💭 Making Circular Economy Accessible for All The transition to a circular economy requires collaboration across businesses, governments, and society as a whole. Yet, many of the key events in this space (while rich in content and networking opportunities) often remain financially out of reach for smaller companies, grassroots organizations, and society at large. If we want circularity to scale, accessibility matters. Perhaps it’s time to explore hybrid formats, tiered pricing, or open-access sessions.

Just wrapped up an insightful days at the Rethink, rethinking how we handle e-waste and sustainability in the corporate world. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversations with industry folks—hoping these spark some ideas for your teams! 🌍♻ 1. Data Security Tops the List for Asset Disposition: Most companies see data risks as priority when retiring IT equipment. It's a cross-functional effort involving compliance, finance, and sustainability teams to ensure everything's handled securely from start to finish. 🔒 2. Rising Device Volumes Mean More Focus on Efficiency: With user and corporate devices only growing, the demand for streamlined data destruction processes isn't slowing down. If you're navigating this, feel free to connect—happy to share more details on how we can help. 3. E-Waste Recycling Basics That Matter: Businesses are prioritizing partners who provide clear recycling metrics, like weight and recovery rates. Teaming up with responsible recyclers who offer IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services can make these initiatives both effective and budget-friendly. 4. Hardware Manufacturers' Global Challenges: For those operating across regions, building solid end-of-life strategies is key—from recycling production scraps and defective returns to navigating strict rules on cross-border e-waste movement. The smart move? Local, reliable recyclers. And it's not just about recycling; there's real potential in reusing or upcycling materials for remanufacturing to extend resource life. Excited to see how these trends evolve. If any of this resonates with your sustainability goals, let's chat about tailored solutions. What's one e-waste challenge your company is tackling right now? Let's keep the conversation going! 🌍♻ #Sustainability #EWaste #ITAD #CircularEconomy

A highlight of #ClimateWeekNYC was hosting our Day of Action, bringing together companies, investors, NGOs, and social leaders for fireside chats, panels, and breakout sessions. The day began with an early morning walk with American Bird Conservancy and concluded with a reception featuring bites from the Billion Oyster Project. During the Day of Action, Pure Strategies' Matt Kopac moderated a panel on packaging design for circularity, joined by Ame Igharo (Ulta Beauty), Anne Bedarf (Colgate-Palmolive), and Rob Opsomer (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). Panel highlights and takeaways: — EPR drives better data and packaging insights: Companies are understanding materials, recyclability, and costs more clearly. — Circular design strengthens brand and consumer experience: Thoughtful design choices, refill/reuse, and material innovations improve engagement. — Radical collaboration is essential: Cooperation across competitors, NGOs, policymakers, and the value chain accelerates solutions. — Learning from past pilots: Refill/reuse programs provide valuable lessons for the next phase of circular innovation. Cheryl Baldwin also presented our new report, "Realizing Sustainable Packaging," featuring our Refine, Redesign, and Reimagine framework for moving from incremental change to transformative packaging solutions.
