About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Unlocking a reuse revolution: scaling returnable packaging
November 22, 2023

Despite its potential, reusable packaging remains small-scale. Kickstarting a "reuse revolution" demands transformative collaboration across businesses, policymakers, and civil society, coupled with investment in shared infrastructure and supportive regulations. This approach will unlock significant economic and environmental benefits.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, champions this shift by promoting a circular economy—one that eliminates waste, circulates materials, and regenerates nature.
