Starting with a recycling program, Cleveland's residents became invested in a more sustainable approach for their health and for the environment. Circular Cleveland is now working to transition the city to a circular economy—collaborating regionally to design out waste and pollution, shorten supply chains, and protect the environment, while creating new business and job opportunities that strengthen community resilience. Learning from leaders in Toronto, Canada, where a circular economy and regenerative food systems are in place, Circular Cleveland is working with motivated residents and a committed city government to build more equitable and climate resilient systems and economies.

Cleveland is one of the six US cities that have received funding ($3 million investment in grants) from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to foster global learning and lead innovative, community-driven approaches that mitigate the health and equity risks posed by climate change.
