The transition to a circular economy represents one of the most significant industrial and societal
transformations of the 21st century. Achieving it demands a coordinated approach that bridges the
gap between knowledge creation, policy development, and commercial implementation. A successful
circular economy cannot emerge from isolated efforts it must be co-designed and continually refined
through the shared expertise of industry, academia, and regulatory bodies.


Participants in this session will learn what a circular economy is, what challenges and opportunities
Michigan industries are overcoming to transition to circularity and the leadership role students are
doing to assist in this transition.
