EARTHCHAT: What might the circular economy look like?

This Tuesday 9th September on EarthChat at noon on Seymour FM or as a podcast

This week's guest is the amazing Sally Quinn, who for over 20 years has been on the cutting edge of social enterprises in the circular economy. Sally is the CEO and Co-founder of Green Collect, a pioneering social enterprise in sustainability and inclusive employment and training practices. Over 20 years she has led the enterprise as a provider of resource recovery services through innovation and best practice in the circular economy.

Sally has taken the enterprise through the phases of start-up, growth and scale, enabling deep impact by delivering services to a wide base of clients across Melbourne. At the heart of her work is a dedication to creating meaningful and supportive work for people facing barriers to employment, such as homelessness, disability and refugee experiences. As Chair of SENVIC, the peak body for social enterprise in Victoria, Sally works across industries to help create a fair and inclusive society through the ‘business for good’ movement.

Sally joins Tim Budge on EarthChat to talk about Green Collect, its growth over 20 years and its impact on sustainability, reduction of landfill and other social benefits. We will also be finding out a bit more about what makes her tick and the importance of the circular economy in our modern and wasteful society. There is lots to listen to and think about.
