Co-creating a prosperous city for both people and planet
Circular San Antonio is a 501(3)c nonprofit organization enabling the transition towards a circular city.
Our mission is to drive growth of a circular economy in the greater San Antonio region through education, action-focused workgroups, advocacy, events, and collaboration. Our work supports the collective goal of wasting less and reusing more, creating a city that is more efficient, resilient, connected, and just.
The circular economy is about improving the use of materials and natural resources by creating interconnected systems, increasing the lifecycle of existing products and materials, and eliminating waste to benefit both people and planet.
Urban centers like San Antonio are key solutions to the pressing environmental, social, and economic challenges of our time, as they concentrate the resources, capital, data, knowledge, and talent, becoming centers for innovation and adaptation.
We believe San Antonio can be the epicenter of this critical work.
