The U.S. Circular Policy Leadership Network
The U.S. Circular Policy Leadership Network (CIRCLE) is a multi-stakeholder learning platform designed to keep multi-stakeholder leadership connected to the real-time evolution of U.S. circular policy
CIRCLE’s mission is to advance knowledge and build capacity for effective circular economy policies, with a focus on best practices and system-level approaches such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Deposit Return Systems (DRS), and Reuse and Refill models. Through an inclusive, “all sides of the table” approach, CIRCLE fosters meaningful dialogue and collaboration.
Since 2022, the following organizations have engaged in CIRCLE events
Virtual Plenaries
CIRCLE plenaries, available to all OPLN members, are designed to foster collaboration and learning through six virtual convenings.
Plenaries keep multi-stakeholder leadership connected to the development, implementation, and evolution of circular policies in real time.
Expeditionary Summits
CIRCLE expeditionary summits take this effort further by uniting policymakers, NGOs, and stakeholders from across the value chain at two flagship events in Canada.
These summits provide an opportunity to explore key learning from implemented circular policies.
