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.

How Circular is Your Company? Introducing Circulytics
February 18, 2020

As businesses increasingly adopt circular economy strategies, measuring success is crucial. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation created Circulytics, a new company-level analytics tool. It reveals a company's circularity across its entire operations, moving beyond just products and material flows. This tool supports decision-making, highlights strengths and areas for improvement, and offers optional transparency to investors and customers.

Developed with Global Partners and tested by over 30 companies, Circulytics helps organizations understand and advance their circular economy adoption. Key figures involved include Ilma Stankeviciute and Jarkko Havas from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Tom Giddings of DS Smith, who has been instrumental in its assessment and use.
