Converting 20% of global disposable plastic packaging into reuse models presents a USD10 billion business opportunity. This benefits customers and is vital for eliminating plastic pollution. All stakeholders must collaborate to create new consumption, production, and distribution models, tackling the plastics waste crisis at its source.

This DIF session will delve into the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's new book, 'Reuse: Rethinking packaging.' We will showcase diverse reuse models beyond traditional shopping bags, discuss their benefits, and feature conversations with three innovators implementing groundbreaking reuse solutions.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 addresses responsible consumption and production. Current global practices, driven by overconsumption, significantly harm the planet and its natural resources.

To tackle major problems like climate change, waste, and pollution, the circular economy offers a solution. This approach rethinks how we design, make, and use everything, from food to clothing.

We partnered with Luisa Santiago from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a leader in circular economy development, to explore how businesses contribute to SDG 12.

The question of how butterflies survive Australia's massive bushfires was answered in part by Julie Favell. Near Long Swamp in Lithgow, while putting out water for fire-affected wildlife, she witnessed common brown butterflies (Heteronympha merope) fluttering inside a moist wombat hole.

This observation suggests that natural underground shelters, offering damp and cooler conditions, provide vital refuge for some species during intense infernos.

The fashion industry faces significant challenges: a garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned every second, leading to a USD 500 billion annual loss. By 2050, it could consume a quarter

The fashion industry faces significant challenges: a garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned every second, leading to a USD 500 billion annual loss. By 2050, it could consume a quarter of the world's carbon budget.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation seeks to transform this through safe, renewable materials, new business models for increased use, and recycling old clothes into new.
