Circular Economy: An Essential Key to Reversing Climate Change
Originally aired as part of World Unity Week
What if we could transform our systems to be as elegant and efficient as nature, where everything has a critical part to play, and nothing is ever wasted? That’s the vision for Circular Economy and the innovative companies that are taking on its challenge.
Learn more in this engaging conversation with Mira Rubin and Scott Bille — founders of the Sustainability Now podcast and blog. Come explore, be inspired, and get a first hand look at this new paradigm in action. Mira and Scott’s guest, Sean Steed, has employed circular economy principles as the very foundation of his Australia-based company, Change Climate.
From production of algae-sourced biodiesel to creation of the only ethical & BPA free, non-carcinogenic bio-epoxy in the world, the model for Sean’s business goes beyond production of a game-changing product. He’s actually providing a transitional path out of the climate-devastating slash-and-burn practices of the Indonesian and Malaysian palm oil industry while preserving and potentially stabilizing the economic future for millions of people.
