ENABLING CIRCULARITY IN THE AMERICAN ECONOMY
Challenges & Opportunities
Brendon Steele October 24, 2013
Sharing Economy = f (Density, Technology)
"I honestly believe there will be a structural compe66ve advantage for the US with their shale gas. But the circular economy is something that could be a big advantage here. We have to find ways to stay compe66ve, and, if we can't find it through energy, the circular economy is one way to go."
