Phoenix and FUSE are expanding circular economy infrastructure, making materials from local resources that support jobs, innovation, and environmental health.
As new technologies proliferate, communities must manage complex material streams in ways that reduce waste and create value. Phoenix is growing into a hub that attracts recovery-focused businesses, supports innovation, and keeps materials in the local economy. By aligning policy, infrastructure, and partnerships, the City can reduce its dependence on landfills and build a stronger foundation for sustainability.
With FUSE, the Public Works Department will identify market opportunities, refine tenant strategies, and launch pilots that demonstrate the potential of circular operations. FUSE Executive Fellow Keytoria King will connect city divisions, universities, and industry partners and design practical tools to track performance and guide growth. This effort will position Phoenix as a leader in circular systems that deliver environmental benefits and broaden economic opportunity.
