Solo sailor Ellen MacArthur's circumnavigation of the globe provided profound insights into the world's finite resources and interconnected cycles. Her journey highlighted how today's decisions directly impact future availability.

Based on this understanding, MacArthur proposes a bold new vision for economic systems. She advocates for a circular economy, moving away from linear models, where resources are continuously reused and regenerated, ensuring sustainability for generations to come.

Dame Ellen MacArthur, a record-breaking yachtswoman, shares her inspiring journey. Her solo global sailing experience underscored the critical need for resource management, mirroring humanity's broader challenge.

She transitioned into an international champion for the circular economy. This system change advocates retaining the value of vital, finite resources, moving away from one-way consumption models.

Her presentation is followed by a Q&A with Jack Ehnes, CEO of the California State Teachers Retirement System and a Ceres Board member.

New materials can be costly, and added premiums from suppliers can inflate prices for brands. In this week's episode of the Circular Economy Show, Georgia Parker from Fashion for Good proposes that brands pay the premium directly to material producers, allowing the rest of the supply chain to function normally.

In this week's episode of the Circular Economy Show, Lewis Shuler from Paradise Textiles discusses the fashion industry's long-standing reliance on polyurethane-based elastane, which has been used "by default rather than by intent." Fortunately, there are already market solutions available to reduce this dependency.

A circular economy for fashion requires garments designed for reuse. Elastane poses a significant challenge, and emerging alternatives vary in performance. Developers must clearly identify the specific problems they aim to solve and the types of garments their materials are best suited for.

In this episode of the Circular Economy Show, Georgia Parker from Fashion for Good and Lewis Shuler from Paradise Textiles discuss how ‘Stretching Circularity’ benchmarks these materials, helping brands and designers select the appropriate stretch for each garment.

Collection and recycling systems are vital for a circular economy, yet many regions lack the necessary infrastructure. The report ‘Closing the Loop: Transforming urban waste systems and protecting Brazil’s rivers’ reveals that Brazil could recover BRL 14 billion in recyclable value currently lost to landfills. Approximately 800,000 waste pickers play a crucial role in this system, often without recognition or fair compensation.

In partnership with the City of Recife, Brazil's Federal Government, and companies like Mars, Nestlé, @PepsiCo, and Unilever, we aim to invest R$300 million in enhancing collection and recycling systems. This initiative seeks to transform urban waste management and provide valuable lessons for policymakers across Brazil. Learn more about our efforts at Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
