More than just another webinar, this virtual roundtable series will facilitate opportunities to solve specific materials challenges from Great Lakes businesses that can lead to development of a more circular economy in the region.
Join us on Tuesday, Oct. 27th at 10:30am ET for a deep-dive into post-industrial organics. Organic by-products and waste materials are generated in a variety of processes from beer brewing to furniture manufacturing, and present a growing opportunity and challenge for recycling market development in the Great Lakes and beyond. If you have recurring supplies of organics available, have an end-market or solution provider in your network, or can help Great Lakes businesses keep organics out of the landfill - this event is for you!
Speakers for the event will be selected from the Materials Marketplace network, and will present on existing and emerging end-markets for organics, and Materials Marketplace listings for these types of materials that could be redirected to processors and new applications.
Attendees with similar challenges and/or identify as problem-solvers will work together to brainstorm solutions, recommend professional connections and commit to actionable next steps for addressing the material.
