About this episode

As Climate Week NYC kicks off, what’s momentum like for the circular economy in North America?

In this episode, Pippa’s joined by Danielle Holly, Executive Lead for North America at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, to explore how circularity is moving from theory to practice across the continent — and why that matters for business leaders looking ahead.

They discuss:

Circular economy progress in the US, Canada, and Mexico and why it’s a non-partisan issue
Why the language matters less than the on-the-ground action
Supply chain resilience, critical minerals, and business opportunity
