Topic: Circularity Makes Good Sense

Speaker: Chester H. Frame, CPIM, CSCP, CPSM, CLTD

“Circularity Makes Good Sense” is a common sense approach to reducing the amount of material that goes into our landfills and our oceans and offers us an opportunity to use something more than once. We will examine how this isn’t a new idea, but it is becoming imperative for us to change our habits and improve our bottom lines.
