Circular Economy Working Group Meeting – January 2022

The Circular Economy Working Group seeks to emulate nature by closing the loop of resource use and recycling, where nothing is wasted and everything serves a purpose!

Join us for our Circular Economy Working Group meetings which are held on the 4th Wednesday of every month. The DC Circular Economy Working Group meets under Leaders in Energy and consists of individuals in the public, private, governmental, and non-profit sector who are interested in learning about circular economy issues and in creating a more circular economy in the DMV Region.

You are also welcome you to join our GoogleGroup to share resources and articles and build the CE community here in the DMV. You can sign up for that here: https://groups.google.com/group/circular-economy-dmv
