As we prepare to launch our fourth season at iHeartRadio, we're revisiting some of host Alec Baldwin's favorite episodes from the archives. In this episode, Alec digs into the minds behind the processing of the 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater, 16 million pounds of trash and eight million pounds of recyclables that New York City produces every day. Pam Elardo is the former Deputy Commissioner of New York City's Department of Environmental Protection, leading the city's Bureau of Wastewater Treatment. Ron Gonen was New York City's first "Recycling Czar" and now thinks about the problems of waste-management from the perspective of a businessman: he's the CEO of a major investment fund looking for the Next Big Idea in recycling. Pam and Ron walk Alec through what happens from the moment people flush the toilet or toss out their coffee-cup -- and they talk about the big-picture environmental impact of our choices. And since this is Here's the Thing, Alec also learns the incredible life stories each one brings to the job -- from Pam's persistence in the face of the sexism that discouraged women engineers of her generation, to Ron's luck stumbling into the home of a prominent environmentalist while doing housework to make ends meet for his family as a kid.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I love talking about food waste. It's one of the biggest contributors to emissions and something that we all contribute to every day. Reducing how much food goes uneaten is, of course, a big part of the solution, but there'll always be organic waste. If it sits in a landfill, it'll emit methane and miss the chance to be used as a resource.Today's episode focuses on an Israeli startup that sees organic waste as a precious resource. HomeBiogas turns waste into fuel onsite to be used for heating and cooking. They're off to the races selling their products for a range of applications – from backyards to hotels – and they're just getting started. We're joined today by HomeBiogas' founder Oshik Efrati, and one of their key investors Ron Gonen from Closed Loop Partners. We talk about both guests' backgrounds, the challenges and opportunities to create a circular economy, anaerobic digestion, how HomeBiogas turns waste into energy, the opportunity they see, and much more. Here we go. In today's episode, we cover:[3:03] Oshik's background & what led him to launch HomeBiogas[4:51] Ron's experience in recycling and waste & what led him to founding Closed Loop Partners[7:08] Closed Loop Partner & the ways it's working to eliminate waste[9:06] The impact of waste on climate & why solutions are needed[10:32] How Oshik sees the problem & what his company is working to solve[11:43] How HomeBiogas is approaching the problem[13:44] Anaerobic digestion & what else makes HomeBiogas' systems possible[16:09] The potential that Closed Loop Partners sees in HomeBiogas as an investor[17:43] Oshik's view of the market opportunity[18:19] Measuring climate & environmental impacts[19:51] HomeBiogas' traction, different applications & go-to-market[21:06] The process of converting waste to energy in buildings[22:25] The toilet market & what HomeBiogas is able to do with human waste[24:33] What's most critical to HomeBiogas' success[25:39] Partnerships that HomeBiogas has developed & is looking for now[28:06] The residential market in the US[31:19] The next few years from a business & impact perspective[33:03] How does this space compare to other circular economy verticals[34:22] What else is needed for realizing the circular economyResources MentionedHomeBiogas Closed Loop PartnersConnect with Oshik Efrati & Ron GonenConnect with Oshik on LinkedInConnect with Ron on LinkedInConnect with Jason RissmanOn LinkedInOn TwitterKeep up with Invested In ClimateSign up for our Newsletter

Did you know that most marketing companies in the US during the early 1950s focused heavily on recycling materials? In today's linear economy, most companies push customers to buy convenient yet unnecessary things that are easily disposed of. Let's change our ways as we learn more about the Circular Economy, its impact on our environment, and how you can save money by engaging in it! This interview with Ronen Gonen answers how we can aim at practices in which we can be financially and environmentally responsible. 

Ron Gonen is the Founder and CEO of Closed Loop Partners, a New York-based investment firm comprised of venture capital, growth equity, private equity, project-based finance, and an innovation center that's focused on building the circular economy. Ron spent his early childhood years in Israel, moving to Philadelphia around the age of five.  He studied History and Economics at the University of Massachusetts and after graduating, joined Andersen Consulting as a trainee, then moved on to Deloitte Consulting. In 2004 he co-founded RecycleBank while studying for his MBA and then he went on to become New York City's Deputy Commissioner of Sanitation, Recycling, and Sustainability, during the Bloomberg administration.In 2013, Ron was named the city's ‘Public Official of the Year' by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Earth Day New York. Throughout his career, he has earned numerous business and environmental awards, including recognition as ‘Champion of the Earth' by the United Nations Environment Program and receiving a Medal of Excellence from Columbia University, where he earned his MBA and later served as an Adjunct Professor in its business School from 2010– 2018.  In 2021, he received the Social Enterprise Center Award for Excellence in Teaching.  A former member of the Council on Foreign Relations and Henry Catto Fellow at the Aspen Institute, he holds multiple recycling industry technology and business method patents. In this episode, we learn more about the circular economy and why it has a clear competitive financial advantage.  We hear about Closed Loop Partners' investment strategy, as well as some real-life examples of circular economy investments they have made.  Ron shares how he verifies impact and measures outcome, and we learn how Closed Loop Partners' Innovation Center came about.Show notes: https://sri360.com/podcast/ron-gonenAbout the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

In recent years, sustainability and green tech experts have touted the idea of a circular economy: one that supports a model of targeted economic development based on principles of repurposing and reuse. Ron Gonen, Founder and CEO of Closed Loop Partners, an investment firm focused on the development of the circular economy, has long been working in championing this form of sustainable economic development by supporting goods and packaging companies, innovative recycling technologies, and advanced supply chains. He does so because he believes in its power to change our systems and he sees in the Israeli startup ecosystem a genuine partner in the sustainability revolution. Ron was interviewed regarding his participation as a judge in a unique Toyota-funded project that encourages entrepreneurship for the environment.

In this episode, we talk with Ron Gonen, who is the founder of Closed Loop Partners, and the author of The Waste-Free World: How the Circular Economy Will Take Less, Make More, and Save the Planet. Ron believes we have a challenge in the American economy -- and a little bit in the U.K. as well some other developed countries -- where the highest status in society goes sometimes to the jobs that don't always create the most social benefit or require the most amount of intellect. The jobs of teacher, fire person, police person, public servants, soldier are the backbone of our society. Unfortunately, the status we've assigned to those jobs, and the financial incentive, is low in society. We hope you enjoy this conversation.

"You've got my brain now on what's the most eco-friendly weapon. I think it might be nunchuks." Kristen and Kyla are joined by activist Robert Miller to discuss the book "The Waste-Free World" by Ron Gonen, an in-depth look at how transitioning to a Circular Economy could help curb the extremes of climate change. This is a divisive book that makes some great points while undermining it's own message by narrowly focusing only on how Capitalism is the best way forward.

We all kinda know that the global waste stream is a crazy big problem, but, in terms of just bottom line dollars, most of the time we don't think about what waste COSTS. So, where might there be big opportunities today to totally rethink everything we throw away? In today's episode, Ron Gonen answers that question and paints a picture of the past, present, and future of waste in America. 

We've talked about sustainability at the micro level, but what about the macro level? How can we make decisions with both our time and money that creates long-lasting benefits? Ron Gonen is here to share about how we can aim at a circular economy rather than a linear one and the benefits this can bring to our communities both financially and environmentally.Get full show notes here!

Matt Prindiville sits down with Ron Gonen, Founder and CEO of Closed Loop Partners, who are presenting The Reusies inaugural event with Upstream this year. Hear about Ron's journey from sanitation in New York City to a venture capital firm in the circular economy space to his recently released book, The Waste-Free World: How the Circular Economy Will Take Less, Make More, and Save the Planet. In this episode, Ron talks more about his vision of a world built around a circular economy – told through inspiring stories of what's already happening today.Resources:Closed Loop PartnersThe Waste Free World Closed Loop Partners' NextGen Consortium report on reuseThe Reusies

Closed Loop Partners invests in products and services that don't depend on natural resource extraction or the disposal of those products in land fill to be successful. Closed Loop is a VC through buyout stage investor in the circular economy – proving that the circular economy is much more economical and higher quality than the companies of the last century. Through their investments, Closed Loop is showing that “those that profited in the previous era will be consigned to their rightful place: the waste bin of history”. Ron Gonen learned about the value and cost of waste as New York City's Deputy Commissioner of Sanitation and brings that lens to reshape how our economy uses resources and then recycles.

Ron Gonen, CEO of Closed Loop Partners and Author of his new book “The Waste Free World” talks about his experience as an entrepreneur when he started RecycleBank and then became the Deputy Commissioner of Sanitation, Recycling, and Sustainability in New York City that eventually led him to start Closed Loop Partners where he focuses on strategically investing in companies that are involved with building the Circular Economy. We discuss what led him to write his new book and how we ended up in this situation where we have been scammed to believe that the “Take, Make, Waste” linear economy is good for us and how its driven our focus on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which has been used as a measurement of economic success in our country. Ultimately, we discuss how a Circular Economy is more cost effective, better for the environment, and will saves us money. All we need now is to start building the infrastructure to really help us transition into a fully functioning Circular Economy.
