Circular Economy Panel at Emerald Summit 2025

Ever bought clothes that didn’t fit, sat unworn, and ended up in the back of your closet? You’re not alone, and it’s costing the world billions.

At the Emerald Summit on Sept. 19th, we’re not just talking about circularity.

We’re bringing together the builders and advocates who are making it real.

That’s why I’m excited to announce two incredible voices on our Circular Economy panel:

Anaid Chacón, CEO & Co-founder of Minette AI, is eliminating $400B in inefficiency and waste through AI and biometric shopping.

Anaid is tackling one of retail’s biggest blind spots: fit.

– Turning “guesswork” into smarter, sustainable design,

– Integrating logistics, retail, fintech, and patents expertise.

Madeleine MacGillivray, Sustainability Advocate at CiCLO®Textiles, has spent her career solving for microplastics and circular fashion innovations.

Madeleine advocates for: community-led sustainability.

– Connecting science and business, so the story reaches everyone,

– And, reshaping consumption with frontlines grassroots action.

Together, Anaid and Madeleine, along with Meital Peleg Mizrachi, will help us unpack how circular models can:

✅ Turn inefficiencies into opportunity

✅ Cut waste while creating jobs

✅ Scale individual choices into industry-wide resilience

Because the best stories, the ones worth telling, don’t end in the landfill.

They evolve, adapt, and come back stronger.

On September 19 in NYC, the Emerald Summit is where sustainable finance meets people-forward solutions.

We’re showcasing leaders who prove that circularity isn’t a theory.

It’s a growth strategy.
