Join the Supply Chain Queen and Dr. Garry Cooper, neuroscientist-turned-circular economy pioneer, for an eye-opening discussion about transforming the trillion-dollar waste economy into business value through circular materials practices.
In this episode of the Supply Chain Revolution's "10 Big Ideas to Transform Supply Chains for a Regenerative Future " series, discover how companies are moving beyond recycling to create true circular materials economies. Dr. Cooper, CEO and Founder of Rheaply, shares insights from 10 years of building one of the country's largest reuse networks, revealing why the global circularity rate has actually declined despite increased awareness.
Key Insights:
- Why there's literally a trillion-dollar economy of unused materials beneath our feet
- How businesses can generate immediate ROI from materials they're currently throwing away
- The infrastructure gap preventing circular economy adoption and how technology is solving it
- Why reuse and repair should come before recycling in the circular hierarchy
- The critical importance of designing products for multiple lifecycles from the start
- The mindset shift from seeing "waste" as problems to recognizing valuable assets
What You'll Learn:
- Practical KPIs that matter for circular materials implementation
- How leading companies are capturing value from products across multiple lifecycles
- Why designing for reuse from the start is essential for true circular materials economy
- Technology solutions making circular materials tracking and verification possible
- The business case beyond sustainability: faster sourcing, reduced costs, supply chain resilience
- Future trends: take-back programs, carbon accounting integration, and mainstream adoption
Dr. Cooper shares compelling stories from the frontlines of circular economy implementation, including how Northwestern University labs sparked a reuse revolution and why companies are paying millions to throw away materials that other projects desperately need.
This isn't theoretical sustainability talk – it's a practical guide to unlocking hidden value in your supply chain while building a regenerative future.
Perfect for supply chain leaders, procurement professionals, sustainability executives, and anyone interested in turning waste streams into revenue streams.
