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

About the CEC
The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) focuses on strengthening the protection of the environment and fosters sustainable development across North America—for the benefit of all, today and into the future. The CEC facilitates knowledge exchange, develops resources and tools, and promotes inclusive and diverse public engagement. Since its creation in 1994, the CEC has been a unique example of regional collaboration.
The CEC was established by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States through the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, a parallel environmental agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). As of 2020, the CEC operates in accordance with the Environmental Cooperation Agreement (ECA), which entered into force at the same time as the CUSMA/T-MEC/USMCA trade agreement.
