We\u2019re kicking off season three by sharpening our promise\u2014spotlighting real stories of business circularity that cut waste, save money, and build resilient operations across North America.<\/p>\n<p>We trace how listener questions evolved from \u201cWhat are carbon credits?\u201d to \u201cHow did they actually do that?\u201d and explain why the centre of gravity has moved from ESG buzz to measurable circular outcomes. Along the way, we unpack the role AI now plays in the loop\u2014forecasting returns, improving grading, streamlining reverse logistics\u2014and where human know\u2011how still drives the toughest wins. You\u2019ll hear how brands navigated reuse at scale, launched packaging innovations, and partnered with vendors to extend product life without sacrificing quality or compliance.<\/p>\n<p>This season brings clearer structure and higher utility: two episodes per month in an eight\u2011month run, tighter segments for easier listening, and case studies that answer three practical questions\u2014what was achieved, how it happened, and what you can copy tomorrow. We\u2019re expanding our scope beyond Canada to reflect a North American audience and the cross\u2011border realities of electronics lifecycle management, recycling infrastructure, and policy. If your team has a circular success\u2014from take\u2011back to refurbishment to materials recovery\u2014we want to surface it so others can learn and build on it.<\/p>\n<p>Join us as we advance business circularity with stories that travel and tactics that pay off. Subscribe, share with a colleague who owns sustainability or operations, and leave a review to help more practitioners find these lessons. Have a circular win to feature?
