Product Stewardship and Circular Economy — A Conversation with Kate Sellers

This week I was thrilled to sit down with Kate Sellers, Technical Director at ERM, where Kate leads multidisciplinary teams to help clients meet their business goals through product stewardship and sustainability initiatives.  Kate is immediate past President of the Product Stewardship Society and one of the country’s most visionary leaders in the area of product stewardship.  Kate counsels some of the largest companies in the world on optimizing business practices to producer better, safer products in a sustainable and efficient way.  I have known Kate for years, and believe me, when Kate speaks, business leaders listen. We discuss why now more than ever, businesses need to be sustainable, to shift from a linear to a circular economy, and to understand how to integrate product stewardship principles and practices into their business dealings.  We also discuss the impact of the European Union’s chemical strategy for sustainability on U.S. companies, COVID-19’s influence on supply chain systems, the role of Artificial Intelligence in governance, and other fascinating topics.  After listening to this podcast, you will know why Kate’s practice is thriving and she is in demand as a speaker and presenter.
