A circular food economy redesigns systems to allow nature to thrive. By rethinking ingredients and production, food brands and supermarkets can design food that benefits people, nature, and climate.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, champions the circular economy. This design-driven approach eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

The food industry significantly contributes to biodiversity loss and global greenhouse gas emissions. However, food can be designed to allow nature to thrive.

Circular design for food

The food industry significantly contributes to biodiversity loss and global greenhouse gas emissions. However, food can be designed to allow nature to thrive.

Circular design for food rethinks ingredients and production, empowering brands and supermarkets to create a system that benefits nature and climate. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, champions this circular economy concept—eliminating waste, circulating materials, and regenerating nature.

WECAN is excited to announce the new Ponca Earthen Lodge Project for Food Sovereignty in Ponca Nation, Oklahoma. This vital initiative, led by Indigenous Ponca elder Casey Camp-Horinek and the Women's Society, addresses the escalating climate crisis and severe fossil fuel pollution impacting the region.

The traditional Earthen Lodge will provide a safe haven during extreme weather and climate disasters. It will also offer space to grow and store traditional foods using generational Indigenous knowledge, support cultural ceremonies, and address rising domestic violence.

Human-designed products often involve unsustainable processes, creating materials incompatible with living systems. John Warner, a co-founder of green chemistry, offers a solution: by embracing nature's "materials metabolism," we can design and build products that are truly in harmony with the environment.

Dr. Warner's extensive career includes over 300 patents and 100 publications. He co-founded the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry and Beyond Benign, a non-profit dedicated to green chemistry education. An award-winning researcher and advisor, he has significantly advanced sustainable design.
