This week, we’re kicking off a special episode series for The Reusies™, the first ever National Reuse Awards. Matt Prindiville sits down with Ron Gonen, Founder and CEO of Closed Loop Partners, who are presenting The Reusies inaugural event with Upstream this year. Hear about Ron’s journey from sanitation in New York City to a venture capital firm in the circular economy space to his recently released book, The Waste-Free World: How the Circular Economy Will Take Less, Make More, and Save the Planet. In this episode, Ron talks more about his vision of a world built around a circular economy – told through inspiring stories of what’s already happening today.
