Join us for an evening of dialogue, connection, & cocktails focused on scaling local & urban supply chains for critical minerals on a global scale.
Session Description
Amidst global challenges such as China's control on critical minerals, rising tariffs, the closing of democracy & the escalating climate crisis, we face a crucial moment. We must help catalyze & implement a policy landscape that rapidly accelerates remanufacturing practices using tools of government, business, & social sectors, such as legislation, incentives, & partnerships, on the national & sub-national levels.
Led by members of the Circular Supply Chain Coalition, this engaging 2.5-hour event will provide key insights, implementation best practices, & context on the latest developments taking place at the intersection of critical mineral supply chains, decarbonization, & environmental justice. Consisting of corporate leaders from leading sustainability companies, policymakers & curators from the United States & EU, & key voices from the reverse supply chain, this interactive session will allow you to engage all stakeholders across the reverse supply chain.
Drinks & light refreshments will be provided.
