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.

Most clothing contains elastane, which poses a significant challenge for recycling. In this week's episode of the Circular Economy Show, Georgia Parker from Fashion for Good and Lewis Shuler from Paradise Textiles discuss the project "Stretching Circularity" with Seb Egerton-Read. This initiative aims to explore scalable bio-based and recycled elastane alternatives by collaborating with brands, innovators, and experts.

Tune in to learn about the project's setup and its potential impact on textile-to-textile recycling.
