70. Circular Hawaiʻi: Reestablishing Circularity in Maui’s Economy

A conversation about circular economic practices on Maui with Nicole Huguenin, Lehua Simon, and Leo Nahe Smith from the Circular Hawaiʻi Collective.

Circular Hawaiʻi is a conduit and connector of dots in Maui’s circular economy, centering the reestablishment of indigenous models of circularity and incubating collaborative efforts to increase participation in circular-based economic practices. Circular Hawaiʻi is a collaborative effort between initiatives that emerged in 2022 to respond to the impact of the Covid pandemic. In the economic aftermath of the 2023 Maui wildfires, Circular Hawaiʻi seeks to support residents by informing them about the free, subsidized, and affordable local resources available to them.
