|  Doug Kobold to Deliver Keynote on Product Stewardship and the Circular Economy at RECYNOVA-2026California Product Stewardship Council Executive Director Doug Kobold will share insights on product stewardship, responsible product systems, resource recovery, and pathways toward a more circular and sustainable economy.
By: RECYNOVA Under the theme of advancing innovative approaches to recycling, resource recovery, and circularity, RECYNOVA-2026 will bring together researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, technology developers, entrepreneurs, and sustainability leaders to exchange knowledge and explore practical solutions for a more resource-efficient future. Doug Kobold brings extensive experience in product stewardship, sustainable materials management, recycling policy, and circular economy strategies. Through his work with the California Product Stewardship Council, he has contributed to advancing approaches that encourage shared responsibility for products and materials throughout their lifecycle. His keynote will focus on the importance of rethinking product stewardship as a pathway toward a more circular economy. The discussion will examine how responsible product design, effective recovery systems, stakeholder collaboration, and innovative stewardship strategies can help keep valuable materials in circulation while reducing waste and improving resource efficiency. As economies transition from traditional linear models toward circular systems, product stewardship can play an important role in connecting manufacturers, consumers, recyclers, policymakers, and other stakeholders. By considering environmental impacts across the product lifecycle, stewardship approaches can support improved collection, reuse, recycling, recovery, and responsible end-of-life management. "Creating a truly circular economy requires collaboration across the entire product lifecycle," said the RECYNOVA-2026 organizing team. "We are honored to welcome Doug Kobold and look forward to the practical insights he will bring to discussions on product stewardship, resource recovery, and sustainable materials management." The conference will feature discussions spanning advanced recycling and resource recovery, waste-to-energy and sustainable fuels, circular economy and sustainable materials, AI and smart waste systems, climate technology and environmental impact, biotechnology and sustainable innovations, recycling industry and commercialization, and wastewater and environmental protection. Doug Kobold's keynote will add an important industry and policy perspective to the conference, highlighting how product stewardship can contribute to stronger recycling systems, greater resource recovery, and long-term circular economy goals. RECYNOVA-2026 will be held October 26–28, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, with participation opportunities for professionals and experts from around the world.
