In this episode of the Circular Economy Excellence podcast, I explore Chapter 8 of my book, Circular Economy Opportunities and Pathways for Manufacturers –Manufacturing Renewed, focusing on the 6th R—Recycle. Often seen as the default sustainability strategy, recycling is actually the final step in a truly circular business model, ensuring materials stay in the production cycle rather thanbecoming waste.

Join me as two AI-powered voices discuss:

• Resource harvesting—how manufacturers can efficiently collect and process end-of-life products for material recovery
• Circular sourcing—integrating recycled materials into manufacturing to reduce dependence on virgin resources
• Legislation and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)—how policies are shaping the future of recycling
• Building customer trust—overcoming skepticism and positioning recycled materials as high-quality, valuable resources

Recycling isn’t just about sustainability—it’s a business opportunity that can strengthen supply chain resilience, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness.
