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.

Circular design for food: six short stories
December 11, 2023

Our current food system significantly impacts landscapes and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. We can, however, design food differently. A collection of six short stories, screened at COP28, showcases regenerative production journeys from Africa to the UK. These stories explore how circular design strategies can build biodiversity, improve soil health, deliver clean air and water, and tackle climate change.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, promotes the circular economy: eliminating waste, circulating materials, and regenerating nature.
