The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a UK charity dedicated to developing and promoting the circular economy concept.

This economic model, driven by design, aims to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials, and regenerate natural systems.

The circular economy provides a framework to tackle global challenges such as waste, biodiversity loss, and climate change. However, achieving this transition demands significant innovation, investment, and collaboration across all sectors. While some startups are emerging, greater urgency is needed to scale solutions effectively.

To accelerate this, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation is leading Innovation Day as part of the Festival de Economía Circular. This hybrid event in Lima, Peru, from September 27-29, will feature a two-hour live-streamed session on September 29. It includes interviews with innovators and a panel of funders discussing practical strategies for scaling these solutions.

Regenerative agriculture offers a powerful solution to global challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change, demonstrating how food production can actively regenerate nature. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation highlights the critical role food manufacturers and retailers play in this transition, urging them to redesign product portfolios, foster new farmer dynamics, utilize innovative on-farm metrics, and advocate for supportive policies.

Tune in to discover examples of innovative farming practices and gain perspectives from industry leaders. Speakers include Karen Cooper (Nestle) and Gabriella Galindo Hernandez (Danone).

Food production significantly contributes to global challenges like biodiversity loss and climate change. However, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's latest publication argues that creating nature and climate-positive food is possible through better design. This presents a major opportunity for food manufacturers and retailers to benefit customers, farmers, and their businesses.

In a new episode of the Circular Economy Show, Emma Chow and Gaelle Le Gelard from the Foundation will discuss why a fundamental rethink of ingredients and product portfolios is needed, moving beyond incremental sourcing. They will explore the crucial concept of 'food design' and envision what nature-positive foods of the future could look like.

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 linear, extractive economic model poses increasing risks to the global economy and its financial sector. This episode presents new evidence from Bocconi University on the circular economy's de-risking effect, driven by resource decoupling and business model diversification, creating opportunities for investors and financial institutions.

We'll be joined by Max Tellini, Head of Circular Economy at Intesa Sanpaolo, and Professor Claudio Zara, Researcher at Bocconi University, in conversation with Emily Healy from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

Cities are pivotal for transitioning to a circular economy. Currently, they consume over 75% of natural resources, generate 50% of global waste, and emit 60-80% of greenhouse gases due to a linear "take-make-waste" model. As urban populations grow, the circular economy offers a vital framework to address climate change and post-pandemic recovery, unlocking economic, environmental, and societal benefits.

City governments, leveraging policy, can lead this shift by engaging public and private stakeholders. This episode, powered by Restream, features the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Strategic Partner Cities—London, New York City, and São Paulo—discussing their progress in advancing circular economy solutions.

The textiles industry significantly impacts resources and water, perpetuating a linear "take-make-waste" economy. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation advocates for making circular economy models, such as resale and repair, the norm through economic incentives and regulations. How can this be achieved in the fashion and textiles sector?

This episode, powered by Restream, explores policy's enabling role in increasing circular business model adoption. We'll hear perspectives from the European Commission, the European Environment Agency, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

The circular economy is gaining traction in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), prompting eight institutions to launch the LAC Circular Economy Coalition. This initiative supports countries and fosters multi-stakeholder collaboration.

A recent panel discussion, streamed live on February 16th, featured coalition representatives including Adriana Zacarias Farah (UNEP), Rose Mwebaza (CTCN), Luisa Santiago (Ellen MacArthur Foundation), and Rolando Castro (MINAE Costa Rica).
