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.

May 06, 2024

Hosting an event like the Eurovision Song Contest requires extensive planning, from infrastructure to local business engagement. Crucially, it offers significant opportunities for circular impact. In this episode of the Circular Economy Show, we travel to Malmö, the 2024 host city. We join sustainability coordinator Veronika Hoffmann to explore how Malmö applied circular principles in planning this international event.
