The Waste-Free World by Ron Gonen
The Waste-Free World makes a powerful case for transitioning to a Circular Economy - where companies foster innovation, investors recognise long term value creation and consumers are able to align their values with the products they buy. Drawing from his experience as a recycling entrepreneur, public official, and Co-Founder and CEO of a firm investing in scaling the Circular Economy, Gonen showcases brilliant innovations worldwide, introducing the entrepreneurs and business leaders that are maximising value by aligning the interests of customers, shareholders, and our environment.

Prior to Closed Loop Partners, Ron served as the Deputy Commissioner for Sanitation, Recycling and Sustainability in New York City during the Bloomberg Administration. He was previously the Co-Founder and CEO of RecycleBank. He has served as an Adjunct Professor at Columbia Business School, where he also earned an MBA.
