The textiles industry's linear "take-make-waste" model has a significant environmental impact. To counter this, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation proposes universal circular economy policy goals. A key objective is to "make the economics work," fostering circular business models (resale, rental, repair) through incentives and regulations to make them the norm.

An April 27th episode explored how policy can enable this transition in fashion and textiles. Experts from the European Commission, European Environment Agency, and Swedish EPA shared perspectives on increasing circular business model adoption.

This documentary explores the practical application of a circular food economy, set against the backdrop of São Paulo. It features various food sector actors collaborating to create an economic model focused on regenerative and local food cultivation.

The film highlights the importance of valuing organic waste, ensuring essential nutrients are returned to the soil. This approach completes the cycle, fostering a sustainable food system.

The textiles industry significantly impacts resources and water, perpetuating a linear "take-make-waste" economy. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation advocates for making circular economy models, such as resale and repair, the norm through economic incentives and regulations. How can this be achieved in the fashion and textiles sector?

This episode, powered by Restream, explores policy's enabling role in increasing circular business model adoption. We'll hear perspectives from the European Commission, the European Environment Agency, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

Measuring progress is crucial for any business, from sales to carbon emissions. As the circular economy gains global momentum, tracking your circular economy performance is becoming increasingly vital for growth and environmental benefit.

These are highlights from our live episode, streamed on April 13th, featuring insights from industry leaders: Cecilia Brännsten (H&M Group), Marianne Richeux (Brambles), and Ellen Jackowski (HP Inc.).

Much of our discarded waste, from sauce sachets to mobile phones, pollutes landfills, gets incinerated, or harms our environment. This linear "take-make-dispose" system damages the natural world we depend on.

The circular economy offers a sustainable alternative. It aims to eliminate waste, keep products in use, and regenerate nature by cycling materials, much like natural systems where nothing is wasted.

This episode, powered by Restream, highlights the crucial importance of tracking circular economy performance as businesses adopt sustainable strategies. We explore how companies utilize Circulytics, the Foundation’s measurement tool, to inform strategic decisions, track progress, and engage stakeholders.

Join us to hear from Cecilia Brännsten (H&M Group), Marianne Richeux (Brambles), and Ellen Jackowski (HP Inc.) on their experiences.

Upstream innovation in a circular economy means tackling problems at their root to prevent waste. For instance, shifting just 20% of plastic packaging from single-use to reuse presents a $10 billion opportunity, benefiting both the environment and the economy.

Highlights from a recent episode featured Apeel, which extends food life without single-use plastic, and Enviu, which shared reuse business models tackling plastic pollution at its source in Indonesia.

Discover over 100 solutions in our Upstream Innovation Guide. Watch the full episode or explore more episodes of The Circular Economy Show.

Just as you'd stop a flood's source before mopping, tackling problems "upstream" means addressing their root cause. In a circular economy, upstream innovation prevents issues like waste from ever occurring.

This approach offers significant benefits. For instance, shifting 20% of plastic packaging to reuse represents a $10 billion opportunity, benefiting both the environment and economy.

Explore cutting-edge upstream innovations combating plastic pollution. We'll feature Apeel, extending produce life without single-use plastic, and Enviu, sharing reuse projects from Indonesia to the Netherlands.

Our food system, from farm to plate, is crucial in addressing climate change. While traditional farming has met growing global demand, it often yields less nutritious food. The question arises: can we cultivate food regeneratively to provide more valuable nutrients? A recent episode, streamed March 16th, explored this, featuring insights on permaculture, policy's role in São Paulo's circular food economy, and how major businesses are implementing regenerative practices.

Our food system significantly impacts climate change. Historically, extractive farming has met global demand but often resulted in less nutritious food. This raises a crucial question: can regenerative and restorative practices provide more valuable nutrients while sequestering carbon and restoring soil health?

This episode explores regenerative food sourcing. We'll hear from Sheena Shah (Harvesting for Good East Africa) on practices in East Africa, Nicole Gobeth (Connect the Dots) on policy and São Paulo's circular food economy, and Danone on how large businesses are ensuring regenerative food production.

This session focuses on solutions for plastic packaging. On November 19th, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation released "Upstream Innovation - a guide to packaging solutions." This practical guide offers tips, decision frameworks, and 110 case studies to help organizations achieve their circular economy targets for packaging.

A suite of additional assets, including workshop templates, slide decks, videos, and a case study database, accompanies the guide. Join this open session to learn more about these solutions, understand how to get started, and receive an exclusive tour of the developed resources.

By 2025, an estimated 160 million designers will shape our world. As the circular economy gains momentum, designers are rethinking product creation. However, significant innovation and pioneers are still needed to scale this transition.

A recent episode, streamed on March 2nd, featured Lay Koon Tan and Katie Treggiden, who discussed circular design opportunities and challenges, highlighting design's crucial role. Explore the full episode, learn more about circular design, and find additional resources and episodes from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

As the circular economy gains momentum, designers and innovators are rethinking how products are made and used. However, significant innovation is still needed to scale this transition, with many solutions yet to be established.

This episode will explore the opportunities and challenges in circular design, examining what the journey towards its full implementation looks like. Powered by Restream.
