Too often, circularity is reduced to recycling. But for industry, real circularity is much broader—and far more transformative. Hear from leaders from Bain & Company, Envetec, Haddy, Volkswagen, and Siemens as they explore how organizations are rethinking product design, material flows, asset performance, and value creation across the full product lifecycle. From modernization and refurbishment to remanufacturing, resource recovery, and new service-based business models, circularity is fundamentally reshaping how industrial companies create value. 

​Sip & Spark is the flagship education and inspiration series: fast-paced, thought-provoking, and always followed by great conversation. ​This Climate Week NYC edition puts the circular economy front and center. We're bringing together community members, sustainability professionals, corporate leaders, and everyday New Yorkers to explore real-world solutions that reduce waste and improve systems at scale. ​Expect 6-8 lightning talks from NYC changemakers. Each speaker gets ~5 minutes to share one big idea, one bold solution, or one story that will change how you think about the stuff in your life. Then we open it up! A moderated conversation, partner spotlights, and networking over food and drinks to close out the night.

Join us for a joyful street arts and climate action festival in Jackson Heights! We’re bringing together artists, neighbors, and changemakers to co-create art, share stories, and learn about how we can care for our planet and each other. Expect a day of hands-on art-making, creative collaboration, and conversations about the climate justice issues shaping our city. You’ll also get connected to folks working year-round to make NYC a more climate-forward, just place to live.
