Building a Career in Sustainability: Ask the Waste Management Experts

About the Event

Floating islands of plastic in our oceans, the dumping of fast fashion waste in developing countries, and the volatile market for recycled materials all signal that we’ve reached a crisis point in managing waste for an ever-growing, over-consuming population.

Sustainability leaders working in waste management and circularity play a critical roll in creating a sustainable and just future. Join this conversation to hear from waste management and circularity experts who work, often unseen, to manage waste streams and redesign supply chains to tackle these challenges. Learn how they launched and grew their careers, what tips they have for high impact careers in the industry, and what they look for in new hires.
