Keefe Harrison is a founder and the CEO of The Recycling Partnership, a mission-driven NGO committed to protecting the planet by fixing recycling and activating a circular economy in the U.S. 

An international speaker, media pundit, and environmental author, Keefe is a 25-year veteran of the space, fiercely committed to her organization’s mission of delivering lasting change.

Before recycling, Keefe worked on a logging crew in North Carolina, researched sea turtles in Costa Rica, and studied reindeer husbandry in Finland.

I am committed to advancing meaningful, measurable change, and I am proud to be part of this team of passionate experts. Together, we’re making a difference.”
