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.

Re-thinking the Future by Ellen MacArthur with Jon Snow

Newscaster Jon Snow interviewed Dame Ellen MacArthur about the circular economy and the first year of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Snow challenged the Foundation's mission to inspire a generation to rethink and redesign for a positive future, questioning the circular economy's implementation and impact on business.

Drawing on over five years of research, Dame Ellen made a strong case for the circular economy. She emphasized it as a distinct, sustainable business model crucial for ensuring a viable long-term future.
