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.

Completing the Picture: Designing a food system that's positive for nature and our climate
November 12, 2021

While renewable energy is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a complete transition also requires redesigning how we produce things, especially food. A circular economy for food means designing systems where nature thrives, rather than bending nature to produce food. This approach eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, accelerates this transition. Learn more about their work on climate change and the circular economy at emf.org/climate. Find resources at ellenmacarthurfoundation.org. Connect with them on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
