As the population continues to grow, the amount of waste generated is expected to increase by 7% year over year globally. That’s a lot of trash, and the impact it can have on society, the environment, and economies — hauling waste isn’t free — could be detrimental. Effective waste management in the built environment is a key component to creating sustainable, healthy cities. It will take a collaborative approach between the public and private sectors to make it happen. Join us for a chat with Rubicon’s Chief Sustainability Officer, David Rachelson as we discuss the ways the built environment can reduce waste to meet the needs of future generations.

David believes in the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. He currently leads sustainability efforts for Rubicon focused on eradicating landfills through technology and innovative closed-loop solutions.
