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.

Cleveland's circular city road map
February 19, 2025

Following the subprime mortgage crisis, which left Cleveland, Ohio, with 30,000 vacant lots, the city is now forging a new path. Through innovative circular economy strategies, Cleveland and its communities are building resilience, creating jobs, and fostering sustainable investment. This approach demonstrates how to rebuild a prosperous local economy, enhancing quality of life and allowing nature to thrive.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, an international charity, champions the circular economyβ€”a system designed to eliminate waste, circulate materials, and regenerate nature. Explore their work and Cleveland's transformation on the Ellen MacArthur Foundation YouTube channel or their website. Connect with them on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
