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.

The circular economy is about more than making incremental improvements — it’s about transformative change. It requires a whole system shift from a take, make, waste linear economy to a circular economy designed to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials, and regenerate nature. But what does it take to redesign an entire economic system? In this episode, we look at the role of data and digital technologies, and explore the innovations disrupting the status quo and transforming the way producers, retailers, and customers interact with one another. Join us as we travel to Prague and London to hear from circular economy trailblazers who are using digital technologies to implement and scale circular economy solutions. Speakers featured: Mirek Lizec, Executive Director, MIWA Petr Báča, Founder & CEO, MIWA Ivana Soboliková, Impact, Investor Relations & Finance Director, MIWA Aleš Kadleček, Business Director, Biopekárna Zemanka Rémy Le Moigne, Managing Director, Gate C Dounia Wone, Chief Sustainability & Inclusion Officer, Vestiaire Collective ------ Thank you for watching this video.
