With a background in waste management, Anita Schwartz, VP at environmental consulting company WSP, is only too aware of the massive carbon footprint embedded in our systems of extraction and production of goods. And she’s also taking a close look at the many indirect sources of carbon emissions created every step of the way to the landfill – what are known as “scope 3 emissions.”
Along with host Dr. Priscilla Johnson, Anita discusses how companies can become more sustainable by reimagining their supply chains. And she explains another important but overlooked “r”, redistribute – a concept critical to ensuring a just and equitable transition to a circular economy. Anita also shares her fascination with the innovative business models emerging in the reuse space that drew her to serve as a judge for The Reusies 2023.
