hi OCP Community, As part of the OCP 2021 Strategic initiatives, Sustainability has been identified as a key area of focus and opportunity here at OCP. Sustainability has a very broad meaning in the industry and I know some experts cringe when they hear "Sustainability" being used in such a wide-ranging manner. OCP is currently addressing this in our ecosystem. While we have been supporting this for some time with our Circular Economy solutions on the OCP Marketplace, we are now trying to tackle some very specific items. Please join us as we get underway and bring your ideas and suggestions. We have identified 2 workstreams and are starting initial discussions as early as next week!

The primary mission of this workstream is to identify industry best practices that can be deployed across vendors, suppliers as well as end user behavior that promotes re-usability and circularity. Primary focus of the group is to solve circularity from a technical and operational point of view. - *Mailing List:* [email protected] - *Initial call: April 14th 9am PT, frequency TBD.* - Please join our meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone. https://www.gotomeet.me/Michael-Schill/ocp-sustainability-initiative-call-line <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.gotomeet.me/Michael-Schill/ocp-sustainability-initiative-call-line&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1617469529420000&usg=AOvVaw3onQHs2OdIG5gzT3nRH7z7> You can also dial in using your phone.
