Kate Davenport | The Recycling Partnership

Kate Davenport is the Chief Impact Officer for The Recycling Partnership, a purpose-driven organization committed to building a better recycling system.

The past few years have brought monumental change to recycling and the circular economy effort with the passage of significant public policy. Kate's work focuses on implementing this catalyzing policy to realize desired impacts.

Kate has an extensive background in environmental sustainability, having previously co-led Eureka Recycling, a nonprofit recycler and zero waste advocacy organization in the Twin Cities. She has worked across stakeholder groups to bring on-the-ground experience in recycling to highlight the challenges and opportunities in recycling to advocate for private and public action that can exponentially expand the environmental, social, and economic benefits of recycling and zero-waste strategies.

A founding member of the Alliance for Mission Based Recyclers, Kate’s experience spans roles at EcoVentures International, aiding microenterprise development and plastics recycling in South Asia, East Africa, the Caribbean, and the U.S.; Envirelation, one of the first organic collection companies in the United States; and SustainUS, contributing to UN Environment Program negotiations on sustainability and climate issues.
