Circular Impact in Action: Homeboy Recycling Tour + Mixer
Climate action — but make it hands-on.
For LA Climate Week, skip the panels and step inside a working climate solution at Homeboy Recycling. This is your chance to see how sustainability, circular economy innovation, and community empowerment come together in one powerful local model.
We’ll kick things off with a quick, behind-the-scenes intro from the Homeboy Recycling team on how their work reduces waste, conserves resources, and creates meaningful workforce pathways. Then we’ll tour the facility to watch recycling operations in action — the real, on-the-ground systems helping move LA toward a more circular future.
After the tour, stick around for relaxed networking with fellow climate professionals, founders, creatives, and sustainability-curious Angelenos. Expect good conversations, fresh perspectives, and new connections with people building what’s next.
If you’re looking for an LA Climate Week experience that’s local, tangible, and impact-driven — this is it.
