On 8 July, Join Our Webinar, What Businesses Need to Know: Circular Economy for a Sustainable Future in North America
Mark your calendar and join the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) and experts from across North America for an insightful conversation on how Circular Economy can drive innovation, efficiency and sustainable growth for your business!
Our conventional models of living, producing and consuming, are placing an unsustainable strain on our planet. A thriving future demands that businesses must transition toward regenerative systems that support long-term, environmental health. In a circular system, products and materials are cycled back into use through maintenance, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, recycling, or composting. These approaches foster innovation, drive efficiency, and create new economic opportunities and jobs, ensuring environmental benefits together with numerous economic and competitive advantages.
During this webinar, you’ll learn about the foundations and core principles of Circular Economy, hear from experts as they showcase real-world examples of circularity from across North America, and explore how circular practices can benefit businesses of all sizes, including small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs).
Join us in shaping a sustainable future through private sector engagement in North America:
Date: 8 July 2025
Time: 3:00–4:30 PM ET

About the CEC
The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) was established in 1994 by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States through the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, a parallel environmental agreement to NAFTA. As of 2020, the CEC is recognized and maintained by the Environmental Cooperation Agreement, in parallel with the new Free Trade Agreement of North America. The CEC brings together a wide range of stakeholders, including the general public, Indigenous people, youth, nongovernmental organizations, academia, and the business sector, to seek solutions to protect North America’s shared environment while supporting sustainable development for the benefit of present and future generations
The CEC is governed and funded equally by the Government of Canada through Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Government of the United States of Mexico through the Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, and the Government of the United States of America through the Environmental Protection Agency.
