Sustainability Programs

Carbon Measuring

We are working with Watershed, our exclusive net-zero partner, to build a net zero carbon program for Circularity 22 and all GreenBiz events. Watershed is a software platform that helps companies measure their carbon impact, aggressively reduce emissions, and remove whatever carbon remains. Watershed also works with companies like Shopify, Stripe, Airbnb, DoorDash, Sweetgreen, and Square to run their climate programs.

Sustainable Food

Meals at Circularity 22 will be plant-rich, delicious, abundant and waste-free. We’ve created low-carbon menus that respect diverse dietary preferences and nourish our guests. Here are just a few of the steps we’re taking to serve sustainable food:

  • We will serve a variety of plant-rich options with an animal-based option available at every meal and encourage guests to make sustainable choices.

  • Gluten-free meals will be available separately from the primary buffets to cater to attendees with celiac disease. Attendees with celiac disease should specifically request gluten-free meals from the buffet team.

  • Food will be clearly labeled to indicate vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

  • We will partner with WM to reduce plastics and packaging in our food and beverage service, including using all reusable dishware, offering water refill stations and eliminating single-use packaging.

  • We will partner with Copia to donate any leftover food to local communities.

Please also refer to our Food FAQs for further information on our approach. 

Water Balancing

We'll balance Circularity 22’s water footprint with the help of Bonneville Environmental Foundation and Change the Course, restoring approximately 820,000 gallons of freshwater to critically depleted ecosystems across Georgia. Change the Course is a first-of-its-kind initiative that brings together the public, corporations and on-the-ground conservation organizations to raise awareness about freshwater issues, balance water footprints and directly support water stewardship projects. Change the Course is the leading corporate water restoration and engagement campaign. The initiative has supported over 150 water projects across 26 U.S. states, Canada and Mexico; and restored over 28 billion gallons of water.

Conference App

Please help us reduce our paper use at the conference by using the Circularity 22 conference app! More details on downloading the app coming soon. 

 

Zero Waste

Zero Waste

GreenBiz strives to mitigate its environmental impact. This year, with the help of WM, we’ve set a goal to divert 100% of the waste generated by the conference. Please help us achieve this by refraining from bringing single-use products into the conference center. We also encourage you to bring your own water bottle and coffee mug to help reduce waste!

TerraCycle

Our partnership with TerraCycle will allow us to divert more waste by repurposing non-recyclable and non-compostable material. TerraCycle is a highly-awarded and globally recognized recycling company that develops recycling solutions for difficult-to-recycle waste streams, repurposing the collected materials into affordable, innovative products.

Plastic Credits

We’re partnering with rePurpose Global to collect and remove 100 nature-bound plastic pouches from the environment for every Circularity 22 attendee. Low-value waste will be collected, upcycled and processed at a rePurpose Impact project, Sueño Azul in Colombia that empowers waste pickers to tackle plastic waste.

rePurpose Global is the world's leading Plastic Action Platform dedicated to reducing waste, reviving lives, and restoring nature's balance. Today, they are a movement of conscious businesses and consumers taking action on their plastic footprint by empowering innovators on the frontline.
