How A City Can Better Engage Residents, Gather Data, & Pass Policy

The cities and NGOs that are leading the way to zero waste, to circular economies, and to creating effective data--driven policies are using modern tools to help them accomplish their goals.


Hear about the TrashBlitz program run by 5Gyres to learn how they use technology to engage more people and to gather data at scale. They are running a multi year program to build robust datasets that give deeper insight & context into litter and waste across the United States.

A main goal for the data is to use it as evidence in supporting better policies around plastic usage.
