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.

Welcome back to The Circular Economy Show! Our season premiere explores the vital link between climate change and the circular economy. We interview Miranda Schnitger, Climate Lead at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, to discuss how the circular economy can help achieve climate targets, its inclusion in COP28 outcomes, and the importance of optimism amidst challenges.
