Dr. Kate Ringvall

I'm a leader in the Sustainability field and have been for more than 25 years - working, studying and exploring the many facets that make up Sustainability as we know it today. My first job as a graduate was in a recycling processing plant in Fremantle and I remain an avid and committed recycler! I have a Masters in Public Policy and a PhD in Planning and my areas of expertise and interest are in the Circular Economy, Sustainability in Business, Sustainability Branding, Sustainable Urban Planning, Sustainable Cities, Sustainable Transport, Transit Orientated Development, and Energy Efficiency in the Built Environment. I have worked for governments at all levels, large corporations, and Universities - implementing and integrating sustainability principles and practices. I'm also a Co-founder and a Governing Fellow of the Galactic Cooperative, who are leading the way for the development of a Circular Economy in WA, and now also a Founder of my own consultancy focusing exclusively on the Circular Economy.
