Building circular business models—where products are rented, repaired, resold, and remade—is crucial for transforming our economy from a linear "take, make, waste" system. This episode of the Circular Economy Show demonstrates these practices in action with Canadian outdoor company Arc’teryx.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, develops and promotes the circular economy. This design-driven approach eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.

"Other Worlds: The Photography of Edward Burtynsky," directed by Simon Brothers, highlights the work of Edward Burtynsky, a 2016 Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts recipient.

The film is a co-production of the Canada Council for the Arts (Conseil des arts du Canada) & Powerline Films. It is presented by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Independent Media Arts Alliance.

The Canada Council for the Arts is a federal Crown corporation, established in 1957, dedicated to fostering and promoting the arts.

In his 2008 TED talk, Edward Burtynsky, recipient of the 2005 TED Prize, presented his "Manufactured Landscapes." He wished his stunning photographs, which document humanity's impact on the world, would inspire millions to join a global conversation on sustainability.

Burtynsky's riveting slideshow vividly illustrates how industrial development alters Earth's natural landscape. Featuring scenes from mountains of tires to rivers of bright orange mining waste, his images are both beautiful and horrifying, prompting reflection on our environmental footprint.
