Austin’s Zero Waste goal creates exciting expansion opportunities for the local recycling and reuse sector.
By working in partnership with these local firms, we believe we can make Central Texas into the most vibrant circular economy in the U.S., where every material can be put to its highest and best use within the local economy at each stage of its life cycle.
The mission of the Circular Economy Program is to attract, retain, and grow businesses, non-profits, and entrepreneurs in the zero waste industry in order to create well-paying local jobs, attract investment, and support the necessary infrastructure for a resilient circular economy in Central Texas.
