Where instead of throwing things away, we locally recycled those materials into fresh raw materials to power a thriving regional manufacturing economy.

Where secondhand doesn’t mean second rate, but we develop subscription and reuse systems for our unwanted goods to power an equitable, thriving retail economy that everyone can afford.


Where instead of making the consumer responsible for single use goods and packaging, we pass smart legislation that reduces the amount of waste in our everyday lives.

Where instead of accepting an unsustainable economy, we develop a resilient economy that runs on circular systems to eliminate waste in our consumption and our human potential.

That’s the promise of Circular Philadelphia.

FOUNDING MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Trash Academy

Trash Academy’s work is at the intersection of art, community, materials and justice.  As enablers of Clean Philadelphia NOW, a campaign to end litter and dumping by 2028, Trash Academy engages citizens to take action and demand the resources and support to keep our neighborhoods and city clean. Trash Academy worked with Circular Philadelphia and others to develop the Waste Free Philly mayoral agenda to create a clean and waste-free future for Philadelphia.

Trash Academy became a member because they believe that Circular Philadelphia is an essential actor, driver, resource and partner in moving Philadelphia in the right direction towards reframing trash as valuable materials.
