Coffee Chats - Circular Economy and Industrial Symbiosis: From Efficiency to Opportunity

Coffee Chats is a monthly virtual series hosted by Economic Alliance Snohomish County that connects the public and local businesses to critical discussions shaping Snohomish County’s economy. 

Join Economic Alliance Snohomish County (EASC) for Circular Economy and Industrial Symbiosis: From Efficiency to Opportunity, part of our Coffee Chats series, on Tuesday, August 11 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. via Zoom.

As supply chains, resource costs, and sustainability expectations continue to evolve, more businesses are exploring circular economy strategies and industrial symbiosis as ways to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and unlock new opportunities. Join us for a timely conversation examining how connecting material, energy, and resource flows across industries can strengthen regional competitiveness while creating operational and economic benefits.

This session will focus on practical business applications and regional collaboration, positioning EASC as a connector between employers, technical partners, and economic development initiatives. Rather than centering on regulation or mandates, the discussion will highlight real-world examples, partnership models, and enabling conditions that help move circular practices from concept to implementation.

Panelist announcements coming soon!

Through this conversation, attendees will gain insight into how cross-sector collaboration can transform operational efficiency into innovation, resilience, and long-term economic opportunity for regional industry. The discussion will explore how businesses can identify shared value opportunities, strengthen supply chain resilience, and support sustainable economic growth through collaborative approaches to resource management.

This session is ideal for manufacturers, industry leaders, sustainability professionals, economic development partners, utilities, workforce organizations, and community stakeholders interested in advancing business resilience and regional competitiveness through circular economy strategies.
