“I had the privilege to support CIRCULAZE in 2022 select 20 circular hopefuls. Regenerative, circular thinking, and entrepreneurship are a powerful mix. We have to thank these entrepreneurs for taking a personal risk in anticipation of us being smarter consumers, producers, and regulators in the future than we are today.”
