use your data to drive the circular economy
In waste and recycling, every mile driven, ton collected, and transaction processed generates waste management data. Too often, that data is trapped in silos, leaving value on the table and slowing progress toward both performance sustainability and sustainability goals.
In this executive fireside chat, SWANA CEO Amy Lestition Burke and AMCS VP Geoff Aardsma explore how industry leaders are using connected data as the engine of circular economy technology. The conversation covers how uniting operational, customer, and sustainability data enables automation, regulatory compliance, and profitable growth – without compromise.
Take away practical steps to embed performance sustainability in your operating model and start turning your data into a strategic asset today.

FAQs about data and the circular economy
Connected data drives the circular economy by bringing operational, customer, and sustainability data together in one place. This lets waste and recycling operators automate key processes, meet regulatory requirements, track diversion rates accurately, and make decisions that improve both profitability and sustainability outcomes at the same time.
Performance sustainability means your sustainability goals are built into how you run the business day-to-day – not treated as a separate reporting task. Connected data ties operational efficiency, customer value, and environmental outcomes together in a single operating model.
Many waste and recycling operations run on disconnected systems – route management, billing, customer service, weighbridge, and sustainability reporting all generating data in separate places. Without waste management software that unifies it all, that data stays fragmented. Measuring performance, automating workflows, and reporting on sustainability goals all get more difficult than they need to be.
