The textiles industry remains anchored in a linear "take-make-waste" economy, ranking as the fourth most impactful sector on primary resources and water. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has outlined five universal circular economy policy goals, including "make the economics work" by creating incentives and regulations that enable circular business models like resale, rental, and repair to become the norm.

This challenge was explored in a live episode on April 27th, featuring insights from the European Commission, European Environment Agency, and Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. They discussed policy's crucial role in accelerating the adoption of circular models within the fashion and textiles sector. Watch the [full episode](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq46r3zdJmA&t=3s) and learn more about the [Universal Policy Goals](https://policy.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/universal-policy-goals).

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 circular economy performance is vital as businesses worldwide adopt circular strategies for growth and environmental benefit. A recent episode, streamed live on April 13th, featured insights from 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.

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 systems significantly impact climate change. Historically, agriculture has relied on extractive practices, leading to less nutritious food. Can we instead grow food regeneratively, providing more valuable nutrients and fostering restorative practices?

This question was explored in a live episode featuring Sheena Shah (Harvesting for Good East Africa) on permaculture, Nicole Gobeth (Connect the Dots) discussing policy and São Paulo's circular food economy, and Jeanette Coombs-Lanot (Danone) on large businesses' role in regenerative food production. The discussion highlighted pathways to a more sustainable food future.

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.
