In Episode 1 we traveled to Arniston, South Africa, the location of ancient fish traps that were used by Khoi and San people, where we interviewed Rowina Europa , a small-scale fisherwoman. Come with us as we journey to Gordons Bay, South Africa, where we hear from local fisherfolk, about it impact of climate change on small scale fishers.

The textiles industry remains anchored in the linear take-make-waste economy. According to the European Environment Agency, the sector has the fourth most significant impact on primary resource materials and water after food, housing and transport. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has recently set out five universal circular economy policy goals around which governments and businesses can align to scale the circular economy. One goal is to ‘make the economics work’ by creating economic incentives and setting regulatory requirements that enable circular economy business models (such as resale, rental and repair) to become the norm rather than the exception. How can this be achieved in the fashion and textiles sector? These are the highlights from the episode that was streamed live on our channels on 27th April. In this episode, we heard from the European Commission, the European Environment Agency, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, who shares their perspectives on the enabling role of policy to increase the adoption of circular business models.

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ Design has the power to trigger systemic change, achievable through individual, business and community levels. Join us for this episode as we hear from Malin Nordin, the Head of Circular Business Development at Inter IKEA Group, on the ability of large organisations to scale up the circular economy through designing affordable furniture. This will include a dive into how the circular economy can shift the perception that ‘affordable’ means cheap and poorly made, to one that gives rise to quality design. We will also hear from Emily Pilloton, founder of Girls Garage. Emily promotes design with inclusivity, encouraging economic development for all with emphasis on the importance of exercising voice and power, bringing communities together.

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ Cities play a key role in the transition to a circular economy. Currently, cities are grappling with the effects of our current take-make-waste, linear economy. They consume over 75% of natural resources, produce over 50% of global waste, and emit 60-80% of global greenhouse gases. At the same time, cities continue to grow; by 2050, two-thirds of us will live in cities. They are engines of economic growth and centres of culture, innovation, and learning. As city governments look to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and address major challenges like the climate crisis, the circular economy offers a systems solutions framework that can unlock economic, environmental, and society-wide benefits. City governments can enable, lead, and involve other key stakeholders from across the public and private sectors, using the wide range of policy levers and measures at their disposal. In this episode, we will hear from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s three Strategic Partner Cities— London, New York City, and São Paulo—about advancing the circular economy and mobilising systems solutions.

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ Janez Potočnik was European Commissioner for Environment from 2009 until 2014, and during his tenure initiated the European Resource Efficiency Platform, which resulted in the adoption of the first European Circular Economy Package. He currently acts as co-chair of the International Resource Panel (IRP) and serves as a special advisor on sustainability to European Commissioner for the Environment & Oceans and Fisheries Virginijus Sinkevičius. In this episode, we will be looking back on almost 10 years of European circular economy development, asking Janez what fundamentals of the economy need to be challenged to reach scale... and what mechanisms or governance models need to be leveraged in the process.

Our recently published set of five Universal circular economy policy goals will enable governments to benefit from the circular economy as they pursue a resilient recovery from the COVID-19 crisis

Our recently published set of five Universal circular economy policy goals will enable governments to benefit from the circular economy as they pursue a resilient recovery from the COVID-19 crisis that offers solutions to key global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. This is the highlights of the discussion panel that was streamed live on our channels on 2nd February. The session was moderated by Eline Schaart (POLITICO Europe) and we were joined by Steven Schonberger (World Bank), Roberta Dessi (Inter IKEA Group), and Miranda Schnitger (Ellen MacArthur Foundation) to discuss the importance of building sub-national, national, and international policy alignment to scale the transition.

The Foundation’s perspective on the Breaking The Plastic Wave study. Breaking the Plastic Wave, one of the most comprehensive and analytically robust studies ever produced on ocean plastics, was released in July 2020 by The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, with thought partners the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, University of Oxford, University of Leeds, and Common Seas. The Foundation published its perspective and set out clear urgent actions in response to the study’s findings. Breaking the Plastic Wave confirms that the circular economy vision is the only way to address plastic waste and pollution at the source, while also resulting in better economic, climate, and social outcomes. It shows that to realise this vision, we need to collectively raise our ambition level, and stresses the need to act now, as an implementation delay of five years will result in an additional 80 million tonnes of plastic entering our oceans between now and 2040. Please join our speakers to learn more about Breaking the Plastic Wave and how a circular economy offers a solution to address plastic pollution at source.

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ The way that clothes are made today is extremely wasteful and polluting. For the fashion industry to thrive in the future, we must transform its current take-make-waste model into one where clothes are kept at their highest value and designed to never end up as waste. In a circular economy for fashion, products (apparel, footwear, and accessories) are used more, made to be made again, and made from safe and recycled or renewable inputs.

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ There have been many calls to build back better after the Covid-19 crisis. The circular economy offers a solution for how to do so. More than 50 global leaders — including CEOs, policymakers, NGOs, academics and philanthropists — have joined the Foundation and signed a statement saying that now is the time to do more, not less, to build a circular economy. We will be discussing the statement and exploring how we can build back better with the circular economy.
