Nemo Equipment’s gear for camping and conquering mountains aims to prevent mountains of waste.

I checked in with the How2Recycle director about where the label fits in with the latest recycling trends.

We need all voices to set the direction for the circular economy.

These reuse and refill packaging innovations are worth watching, from the stuff you put on your face to the stuff you put in your mouth.

These three steps can help apply hope to the cause of advancing circularity.

There are a host of innovations in compostable packaging. Here are some of my favorites, and why.

What would come next if humans no longer roamed (and conquered) the earth?

A quick introduction to the brand resale index by Trove and OSF Digital. As you may expect for any fast-growing space such as recommerce, leaders and laggards are already distinguishing themselves.

The brand-new Camston Wrather circuit board recycling facility in Carlsbad, California, can process 1.5 million pounds every month, a fraction of America’s electronic waste.

In Minnesota alone, the value of metals and materials that could be mined from electronic waste has an estimated value of over $2.8 billion annually.

It’s time to update how we sort valuable materials (a.k.a. waste).

We cannot expect to transition to a sustainable circular economy by continuing to rely on toxic chemistry.

An update from WWF’s Erin Simon and OPLN’s Dave Ford, who attended INC-1 in Uruguay.

And how can they get us closer to circularity?

The concept of using your buying power only comes with privilege.

Starting with circularity in mind requires close collaboration between product manufacturers, specifiers and the owners and developers of buildings.
