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.

New season: Circular Curious
October 14, 2024

Curious about the circular economy? We explore key questions like the difference between sustainability and the circular economy, and how circular practices address climate change adaptation and mitigation. We also delve into what "designing for durability" truly means.

This season of the Circular Economy Show aims to unravel common misconceptions. We'll discuss the circular economy from both an ideological perspective and in practical implementation terms, clarifying its core principles for the circular curious.
