she/her
With fifteen years of supply chain experience in the consumer-packaged goods industry, Crystal developed a passion for the circular economy as the rigid plastics procurement manager. In that role, she enjoyed educating and engaging both internal and external business partners to understand how their individual actions were critical to collective sustainability initiatives. Today, Crystal oversees the U.S. Pact’s progress toward Roadmap 2.0 Targets and Deliverables and leads several workstreams. She focuses on helping companies make progress on their circular design and PCR commitments as well as creating systems-level changes to increase the collection and recycling of plastic packaging. Crystal’s experience leading cross-functional teams and multistakeholder partnerships is helping the U.S. Plastics Pact bring together the entire value chain to advance the circular economy and solve the plastics waste crisis.
Why I Care About the Circular Economy
“As a mom, I think a lot about my children’s health, happiness, and opportunities. I realized that all the vacations, activities, and educational opportunities in the world don’t matter if they don’t have a safe planet to live on. Working toward a circular economy protects my children’s futures.”
Personal Passions and Interests
When not working to further the circular economy, Crystal is most likely chasing her kids around. Her family enjoys hiking, water activities, and traveling.
