Circle Blue

<p>Circle Blue works directly with your organizations leaders and stakeholders to change the culture in your community, in order to get to zero waste.</p>

Circle Blue

Circle Blue is a zero waste consultancy. It successfully got Laird Elementary School to zero waste and Tempe Academy of International Studies to 88% diversion. Circle Blue has worked with organizations of all sizes, from small coffee shops to large corporations, such as Fair Trade Cafe, Tempe Elementary School District #3, and Native American Connections, to name a few. Circle Blue's Status Quo to Zero Waste process assessed an organization's culture, analyzed their waste stream and GHG impact, and create and implemented a plan to get that organization to zero waste. Circle Blue won the 2017 Pakis Social Entrepreneurship Challenge from ASU's W. P. Carey School of Business.
