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.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity launched in 2010 by Ellen MacArthur, accelerates the transition to a circular economy. CEO Andrew Morlet discusses building momentum with businesses, policymakers, and educators, focusing on shifting global material flows like plastics.

As a global thought leader, the Foundation establishes the circular economy on the agenda of decision-makers. Its 2018 London Summit exemplified this, showcasing big ideas and digital technologies reshaping our economy. Supported by key partners, the Foundation drives innovation and change.
