For too long, our economy has followed a linear path of extraction, consumption, and disposal. But what if we designed products to stay in circulation for as long as possible?

In the first episode of Talis All About It, host Andrew Mack sits down with Janelle Osenton to break down the circular economy. Together, they explore its core principles, drivers, and common misconceptions—and discuss how consumers, government, and industry can help close the loop.
