The current use of plastics is highly wasteful; clean-ups and recycling alone cannot solve pollution. We need a circular economy for plastic that designs out waste, keeps materials in use, and prevents pollution. This vision for plastic packaging has six key points.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, accelerates the transition to a circular economy through business, learning, and insights.

Convincing colleagues and policymakers about new ideas, especially in environmental practice, requires strategic approaches. Luigi Acquaviva successfully turned environmental concepts into action

Convincing colleagues and policymakers about new ideas, especially in environmental practice, requires strategic approaches. Luigi Acquaviva successfully turned environmental concepts into action with Italian regional and city policymakers. Similarly, Cheryl McCulloch engaged Glasgow businesses and policymakers on the circular economy, using a "circular city scan" to shift opinions and foster collaboration.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity launched in 2010 by sailor Ellen MacArthur, accelerates the global transition to a circular economy. Through business, learning, insight, and communications, it has become a global thought leader, influencing decision-makers across business, government, and academia.

The global food system generates 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, largely from production. Conventional rice production, a staple for over half the world, alone generates emissions equivalent

The global food system generates 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, largely from production. Conventional rice production, a staple for over half the world, alone generates emissions equivalent to global aviation. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) offers an agroecological solution.

SRI employs simple interventions to significantly reduce water use, methane, and chemicals, while boosting yields and cutting labor. Currently 4% of rice production, scaling SRI to 25% could reduce emissions equivalent to India's total output.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, champions a circular economy that eliminates waste, circulates materials, and regenerates nature. Subscribe to The Ellen MacArthur Foundation for more insightful videos: YouTube
