With an empowering call to action, The Waste-Free World boldly invites us to end one of the greatest scams in history in order to achieve a bright, sustainable, and prosperous future. As microplastics collect in the ocean by the ton, natural resources are depleted, and cities face mounting landfill disposal bills, consumers and investors are becoming increasingly focused on the quality, durability and environmental footprint of products-yet many industries continue to try to sell us cheap goods and tell us that recycling is too expensive. In The Waste-Free World, Ron Gonen argues that the old take-make-waste economy has cost us consumers and taxpayers billions while cheating us out of a habitable planet. But it doesn't have to be this way.
The Waste-Free World reveals the secret history of wasteful consumption and makes a powerful case for transitioning to a Circular Economy-where companies foster innovation, investors recognize 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 us to the entrepreneurs and business leaders that are maximizing value by aligning the interests of customers, shareholders, and our environment.

EXPERT AUTHOR WITH SPEAKING PLATFORM: A professor at Columbia Business School, Gonen is well-connected and has spoken at the UN and World Economic Forum. He has been recognized as Public Official of the Year in New York City, "Champion of the Earth" by the UN Environment Program, and with the Medal of Excellence from Columbia.
HOT TOPIC AND DEMAND FOR BUSINESS AUDIENCE: Google searches for "zero waste" and "circular economy" have surged and "circular economy" is appearing more in media, also as the centerpiece of the 2019 Davos summit. Companies pursuing circular initiatives include McKinsey and Accenture; Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Nestle, Coca-Cola and Pepsi; IKEA; Google, Dell, HP; Ford, GM, Renault; Kroger, Starbucks; and H&M.
RETHINKING SUPPLY CHAINS: In the aftershock of the coronavirus, the world is rethinking how we consume and produce waste, with increased interest in efficient, simple supply chains. Since Gonen has been speaking on this subject for years, he is the one to show the way.
