About This Collection
The E
llen 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 fou
nded 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.

E-waste: the circular economyβs golden opportunity #shorts |
| April 27, 2026 E-waste is our fastest-growing waste stream, outpacing recycling efforts fivefold. This presents a significant untapped opportunity, especially given the rising demand for critical minerals. Recovering valuable materials from discarded electronics, such as the billions of phones in our homes, is crucial. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF) is an international charity accelerating the transition to a circular economy. Our mission addresses global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. Explore our work at ellenmacarthurfoundation.org.
