Description
Policy can either accelerate circular solutions—or hold them back. This interactive session examines how emerging approaches like extended producer responsibility (EPR), right-to-repair laws, and pollution pricing are reshaping markets and incentives. With perspectives from industry, advocacy, and policy leaders, the discussion will explore what’s working, what’s not, and how to ensure that billions of dollars in new regulatory frameworks deliver real environmental and social impact. A panel discussion with Featured Speakers will provoke a participatory exploration of how the right policies can advance a circular economy involving our expert Roundtable Participants, including:
- Radha Adhar, Bezos Earth Fund
- Coco Freling, RecycleMe
- Russ Walsh, SeaNet Vision
- and others to be announced
