Phoenix’s Resource Innovation Campus or RIC is located on 27th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road adjacent to the city’s transfer station. It is a home for valuable public-private partnerships through land leases, infrastructure support, and access to the city’s waste stream and feed stock. The idea behind the RIC is that it serves as a gathering place for collaboration and solutions that can increase the diversion and conversion of waste locally in Phoenix. It is also where waste-to-product projects and ideas can be nurtured and developed. Lastly, the RIC is a hub for innovators building Phoenix’s circular economy and generating sustainable economic development. Come take a tour of Phoenix’s RIC campus to learn more about how Phoenix is spearheading an effort to create a local circular economy and blaze a path towards its long-term zero waste goals.
