Imagine a New York City where no waste is sent to landfill, environmental pollution is minimized, and thousands of good jobs for people of all social and economic backgrounds are created through the intelligent use of products and raw materials. In other words a city that is thriving, green and just. This is the vision of the New York Circular City Initiative, which can be achieved through creative collaboration between city agencies, businesses and the public sector.
The initiative, convened by international law firm Freshfields, seeks to identify the most effective levers to help the City of New York make the transition toward the circular economy. The members of the initiative each brings a unique combination of expertise and influence that will be critical to delivering a circular New York City.
