Join Pilar Garcia, Innovation Project Manager at Veolia and OPFA alum, for a behind-the-scenes look at how circular economy principles move from theory into execution at scale. Over nearly a decade at one of the world's leading environmental services companies, Pilar has delivered recycling and circular programmes for household names including Tesco, Amazon, Nando's, Nestlé, and Selfridges — spanning two continents and some of the most complex waste challenges in retail and hospitality.

Join Chris Edmonds, Director of Sustainability North America at Oatly, for a conversation about what it takes to drive decarbonization in one of the highest-impact, highest-scrutiny sectors: food and beverage. At Oatly, Chris leads regional sustainability across U.S. facilities — working directly with operations teams to reduce emissions, scale renewable energy, and translate Oatly's climate commitments into measurable plant-level action.

With a multidisciplinary background spanning Sidewalk Labs, WSP, building certification, public policy, and social movements, Chris brings a unique perspective on how plant-based food, the built environment, and climate justice intersect.
