12th Annual Zero Waste Symposium

We invite you to join our 12th Annual Zero Waste Symposium on February 26, 2025, for an inspiring hybrid event. This year's Symposium will highlight recent local policy developments, organizations, and businesses pioneering impactful circular solutions across food systems, the built environment, mobility, and community engagement through rapid-fire presentations. Participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm creative circular innovations and turn ideas into action plans that can be implemented back in their organizations to help accelerate the transition to sustainability. The event will conclude with an after-hours networking reception to spark new partnerships and collaborations. By uniting virtually and in person, we'll share best practices to build closed-loop systems that benefit both economy and ecology in our region and beyond. Join us for a solutions-oriented symposium to help create a zero waste, circular future.

Pre-registration ends on February 21, 2025. 

Come and join the discussion!
