Zero waste initiatives are becoming more common, but how this ambitious goal is defined can vary widely – from a focus on smarter disposal to a broad, life cycle-oriented approach. In this session, you’ll hear about local and global companies that are moving toward “zero” by looking upstream, rethinking product design, and re-imagining their approach to waste. Networking and discussion with a cross-sector group of sustainability professionals and topic experts will help you look at your company’s waste in a new light and bring tangible takeaways back to your workplace.
