Michigan consumers seek products that are sustainably manufactured and designed for sustainable disposal or reuse. Michigan businesses are innovating to fulfill these expectations and improve their supply chains. State and local public policy can accelerate or hinder these efforts. During the March 11 forum, we will hear about best practices for building the sustainable supply chain of the future and related public policy considerations and issues. The aim is to improve public health, environmental stewardship, and economic development as Michigan strives to model statewide sustainability in action.
