The textiles industry's linear "take-make-waste" model has a significant environmental impact. To counter this, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation proposes universal circular economy policy goals. A key objective is to "make the economics work," fostering circular business models (resale, rental, repair) through incentives and regulations to make them the norm.

An April 27th episode explored how policy can enable this transition in fashion and textiles. Experts from the European Commission, European Environment Agency, and Swedish EPA shared perspectives on increasing circular business model adoption.

In an interview with Jungle Bird, Rebecca Moore, a computer scientist and software professional at Google, discussed her impactful work. She famously used Google Earth to halt the logging of over a thousand acres of redwoods in her Santa Cruz Mountain community.

Moore also initiated and leads the development of Google Earth Engine, a new technology platform supporting global-scale data-mining of satellite imagery for societal benefit. She holds a bachelor's degree in AI from Brown University, a master's from Stanford, and is on leave from a Stanford Ph.D. program. This interview was published on Sep 16, 2014.

Explore alternative economic thinking with Kate Raworth, author of "Doughnut Economics: 7 ways to think like a 21st century economist." She will discuss how this framework shapes circular economy policies and business practices at city level, exemplified by Amsterdam's recent implementation. Countries and cities globally are adopting these strategies to balance people’s wellbeing with planetary boundaries for a thriving economy.

Over 80% of textiles are discarded globally. A circular economy, driven by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), offers a vital solution. Mandatory, fee-based EPR policies hold producers

Over 80% of textiles are discarded globally. A circular economy, driven by Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), offers a vital solution. Mandatory, fee-based EPR policies hold producers accountable for collecting, sorting, and recirculating their products, fostering transparency and attracting investment for large-scale reuse and recycling infrastructure.

The latest Circular Economy Show episode explores global challenges and opportunities in textile EPR with experts like Matteo Magnani, co-author of "Pushing the boundaries of EPR policy for textiles."
