Women in Waste | By Stacy Savage
Consulting for Women in Waste—a cohort-based consultancy training program—is the first aligned offering to be promoted through Women in Circularity. This 6‑month online training equips women with the structure, confidence and roadmap to turn their sustainability expertise into a thriving circularity-based consulting business.
Who Is Taking the Program
This program supports women who want to:
- Launch a consulting business in waste, zero waste or circularity
- Shift from employee to founder mindset
- Package their expertise into credible values‑aligned services
- Build a purpose‑driven business with clarity and confidence
What Participants Gain
Women graduate with a real business foundation, not just ideas. The program provides:
- A supportive network of women in sustainability
- Step‑by‑step business planning
- Biweekly expert support and private community access
- Clarity on services, clients and pricing
- Certificate upon completion
Why It Matters
Many women in sustainability have the expertise but lack a clear roadmap to turn it into a business. Women in Waste fills that gap by offering structure, community and a practical plan to build a circularity consulting practice rooted in impact, autonomy and purpose.
