Kate Davenport

Chief Policy Officer
The Recycling Partnership
Kate Davenport leads the Policy Advocacy and Policy Implementation teams at The Recycling Partnership. The past few years has brought monumental change to recycling and the circular economy effort overall with the passage of significant public policy. We are at a moment to create a new paradigm and it is exciting to work on continuing the momentum and building common ground across sectors and stakeholders. Her work focus as well on how to implement this catalyzing policy to ensure the desired impacts are realized. Kate has an extensive background in environmental sustainability, 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. She was a founding member of the Alliance for Mission Based Recyclers. Her experience spans roles at EcoVentures International, aiding microenterprise development and plastics recycling in South Asia, East Africa, the Caribbean, and the U.S. as well as working for Envirelation, one of the first organic collection companies in the US. She started her career at SustainUS, contributing to UN Environment Program negotiations on sustainability and climate issues.
