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.

Transforming the fashion industry: The Jeans Redesign
August 22, 2023

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Jeans Redesign Project promotes circular economy principles for fashion. Jeans should be used more, designed for remanufacture, and made from safe, recycled, or renewable inputs. This initiative aims to make circular design the norm across the industry.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, champions a circular economy—a design-driven model eliminating waste, circulating materials, and regenerating nature. Learn more about our work at [ellenmacarthurfoundation.org](https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org).
