Harvard Extension School consultant Carrie Snyder explained circular economy during a recent conference promoted by the Centro de Innovación Atabey under Domingo Contreras in Santo Domingo. The conference “Circular Economy: Potential and Entrepreneurial Opportunities” addressed challenges and opportunities in the Dominican Republic for switching from a lineal economy to a circular economy in the presence of students of the Santo Domingo Institute of Technology (Intec) at the university with the backing of the United Nations office in the Dominican Republic.
“The potential of circular economy in the Dominican Republic is very high,” she told her audience. She highlighted the important natural resources and the timing is right for the country to evolve to a more responsible, efficient and sustainable economy.”
Snyder became a circular economy consultant after more than 15 years at the multinational technology company, Cisco. There she led global initiative sin operations, supply chain and material flow, optimizing end-to-end processes in support of more than one billion dollars in annual sales.
Now at the forefront of the emerging circular economy initiative, Snyder helps companies through the process of creating and closing loops with sustainable and profitable practices.
