The Grand Junction-based Business Incubator Center announced on Jan. 22 a partnership with the state’s Circular Economy Development Center in a venture designed to promote the use of recycled materials in manufacturing processes.
The Business Incubator Center currently supports several businesses in the Incubator Intensive Program that are implementing circular economy practices, including Grand Junction-based Surpstone, whose owner Jill Layton uses recycled plastics to recreate custom garden stones, and Conuence Woodcraft, also based in Grand Junction, whose owner Dave Grossman builds modern furniture and reuses wood by-products to create handmade zero-waste furniture, charcuterie boards, coasters and gifts.
“Our commitment to our communities in Western Colorado aligns with the essence of a circular economy,” said Dalida Sassoon Bollig, CEO of the Business Incubator Center. “Through our strategic partnership with Circular Economy Development Center, we are dedicated to building robust pipelines across diverse sectors. Together, we aim to identify and manage challenges, and help entrepreneurs and small businesses seize opportunities for sustainable growth.”
The Business Incubator Center offers entrepreneurial support to Western Coloradans through eight programs including the Small Business Development Center, the Incubator Intensive Program, the Commercial Kitchen Program, Mesa County Enterprise Zone, Mesa County Loan Fund, GJ MakerSpace, F-Works Coworking Space and Strategic Training for Nonprofits.
