Show Notes
During our interview with Lisa McLean, Managing Director and CEO of Circular Australia, we learned of some of the impressive circular initiatives happening in Australia, such as:
- The importance of building circular "precincts", a place to keep resources in circulation locally.
- The new ISO 59000 Global Framework for implementing circular economy principles
- Several of Circular Australia's members doing amazing things, such as Allmould's collection of St. Vincent's Hospital's plastics waste to form new plastic blocks for use in the wind industry.
Lisa is the Managing Director and CEO of Circular Australia, an independent peak body for circular economy innovation. She has successfully advised industry and governments to bring market change with new policy frameworks and regulations enabling the circular zero-carbon economy over the next 20 years. Formerly a political journalist, Lisa was also founder of the carbon accounting service Carbonwise and helped establish the Clinton Climate Initiative. Lisa is leading the transition to a zero-carbon circular economy in Australia.
