Unpacking the circular economy in concept and action - Amanda Jordan & Rose King

Greater Phoenix A to Z

At GPEC, we talk a lot about how Greater Phoenix is addressing climate action and sustainability goals, from water solutions and alternative energy generation and storage to other novel technologies, but in this episode, we focus on another aspect of sustainability essential to progressing long-term goals in this space — the reuse and regeneration of materials and products.
Host Casey Gilchrist talks to two local experts, Amanda Jordan, the Circular Economy Project Manager at the City of Phoenix, and Rose King, Co-founder of GlassKing Recovery & Recycling, about what the circular economy is and how it's being practiced in Greater Phoenix.
These guests share a wealth of knowledge and insights on how the region is taking bold steps towards a greener and more eco-conscious future. Tune in to gain a better understanding of how recycling and reuse are improving and evolving, plus how you can get involved in creating a more sustainable and circular future for our community.
