Circular Economy Thought Leader and Founder/CEO of Circulate Capital, Rob Kaplan, Featured on Impact Podcast with John Shegerian

Trailblazing circular economy thought leader and Founder and CEO of Circulate Capital, Rob Kaplan, is a featured guest this week on the Impact Podcast with John Shegerian. The show is hosted by Shegerian, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of ERI, the nation’s leading fully integrated IT and electronics asset disposition provider and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company.

Kaplan has nearly two decades of experience in corporate sustainability and impact investing with industry leaders ranging from Walmart to Closed Loop Fund. He established Circulate Capital to deploy catalytic capital in partnership with leading corporations and investors to scale solutions that advance the circular economy and prevent the flow of plastic waste into the ocean in South and Southeast Asia.

“It was a great honor to have my good friend Rob Kaplan on Impact to discuss his essential work with Circulate Capital; the new fund he and his team have created, Circulate Capital Disrupt; his work to invest in companies that are helping solve the plastics crisis; and the topic that is front and center in virtually all business sectors today: the circular economy,” said Shegerian. “Rob has long been a visionary, impactful advocate for the concept that circularity is not only crucial for the planet and keeping but holds immense business opportunity. He’s a great inspiration and I can’t wait for our listeners to hear this discussion.”

“I want to thank John for having me on as a guest on the Impact Podcast. Now more than ever it’s crucial that we as a global impact community come together to advance the development of the circular economy,” said Kaplan. “Investing in enterprises that are at the forefront of climate tech innovation will help us combat plastic waste and accelerate the global recycling supply chain, which are critical to advancing the circular economy. I am looking forward to continuing this important conversation John and I had and hope we inspire investors to move their capital towards more meaningful investments to make real systems change.”
