Re-thinking Progress: The Circular Economy |
| There's a world of opportunity to re-think and re-design the way we make stuff. 'Re-Thinking Progress' explores how through a change in perspective we can re-design the way our economy works - designing products that can be 'made to be made again' and powering the system with renewable energy. It questions whether with creativity and innovation we can build a restorative economy. Find out more about the circular economy at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and follow them on Twitter.
