ASBN, member mebl |
Transforming Furniture and the Sustainable Furnishings
Council present a three-part Circularity in Furniture webinar
series as a part of Circular City Week.
How can companies support and inform critical public policy to
advance the transition to a circular economy? Using examples from
the furniture and home-cleaning products industries, we’ll
explore opportunities for involvement by companies of all
sectors, sizes and levels of policy engagement. Join us to learn
more about circular economy policy in the US and how businesses
can play an essential role in policymaking and advocacy for
circularity. With momentum building on key policies – including
extended producer responsibility, plastics bans, toxics
legislation, and right to repair, along with new federal climate
and infrastructure investment – this is an important time for the
business sector to lead the change.
Panelists include Gat Caperton, President/CEO of
Gat Creek; Jeffrey Hollender, CEO & Co-Founder
of ASBN and Co-Founder & former CEO of Seventh Generation; and
Stephanie Erwin, Director of Circular Economy
Policy, ASBN. Moderated bySusan Inglis, Resident
Expert and Educator in Chief at the Sustainable Furnishings
Council.
