New Plastics Economy: Circular Materials Challenge

Millions of tonnes of plastic pollute our oceans annually. Despite significant investment and innovation, current clean-up efforts tackle less than 0.5% of this problem.

We need innovation that addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms. Our $2M Innovation Prize highlights possibilities to radically rethink how we make, use, and reuse plastic packaging. Discover more at the New Plastics Economy.

A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion's future

Ellen MacArthur and Stella McCartney co-hosted the launch of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s report, "A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion's future." The report urges the fashion industry to adopt a new vision and foster cross-industry collaborations to achieve it.

The current "take-make-dispose" model causes significant environmental damage and economic loss. Every second, a garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned, resulting in an estimated USD 500 billion loss annually. By 2050, the industry could consume a quarter of the world's carbon budget. Additionally, it pollutes oceans with half a million tonnes of microfibres yearly, impacting food chains.
