Ken Webster, Head of Learning at The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (UK), introduces the concept of a circular economy. This model is crucial given the depletion of cheap fossil fuels and key materials, alongside rising populations and growing anxieties concerning water resources, food production, and harmful wastes.

These challenges demand a fundamental rethinking of our production and consumption systems, rather than just patching them up. We must actively rethink, redesign, and build a positive future.

The International Biochar Initiative proposes that we bake organic waste (from food production, gardening, even sewage) to convert it into a toxic-free, multi-purpose material known as biochar. The process ultimately has a positive effect on the planet, which is why Project Drawdown rated biochar as one of the top 100 ideas that can reverse the effects of climate change. In this session we were joined by Kathleen Draper, a Board member of the International Biochar Initiative who has hosted regular webinars and tours to showcase world class examples of industrial scale biochar production facilities and markets. --- Thank you for watching this video.

Waste and pollution are not accidents. They are the consequences of decisions made at the design stage. To change the system we need to change how we design. This session gathered some of the most inspiring stories from the generation already leading the way. We were joined by Seetal Solanki, founder of Ma-tt-er, design entrepreneur and author of the book Why Materials Matter and Kamonnart Ong, co-founder of Moreloop, fashion designer & lecturer at Chulalongkorn Design University. We also heard from the winners of the RSA Student Design Awards 2019, Maire Kane and Hannah Grogan, who applied circular economy principles to design a reusable medical device. --- Thank you for watching this video.

Algramo's mission is to catalyse reusable packaging systems on a globally significant scale. With its network of 2,000+ convenience stores and packaging reuse rates over 80%, Algramo caught the attention of brands like Unilever, Nestle and others keen to explore reusable packaging. With their brand partners, they co-develop technology like Packaging as a Wallet (PaaW), that communicates with IoT connected vending machines. Through their distribution system, Unilever sells their laundry detergent for 30% below supermarket prices. Algramo’s newest project is creating its flagship store that will be the logistics hub for a fleet of electric tricycles. -- Thank you for watching this video.

The wastefulness of takeaway paper coffee cups and issues of recyclability have regularly featured in the headlines in recent years as topics like ocean plastics become increasingly prominent. Better design and reuse are clearly on top of the agenda, but there's demands for better recycling are also firmly on the agenda of governments, organisations and consumers. In this short video, hear from DS Smith's European Strategic Development Director Tom Campbell-White, who has led efforts on the paper and cardboard business side. Also hear from Costa's Head of Environment, Oliver Rosevear, who provides the retailer's perspective. ----------------------------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video.

t was over an ironing board when Jason realized that many of the every day products we buy are 90% water , with only small amount of active ingredients. This massive inefficiency in how consumer products are designed, manufactured and sold is why billions of pounds of wasted plastic pollute the land, sea and air every year. Something had to be done. This was the inspiration that created Replenish, a reusable bottle and concentrate refill platform that makes it easy for consumers to add their own water, at the point of use instead of at a far away factory, to make the products they use every day. Replenish aims to break the endless cycle of waste in today’s fast moving consumer goods industry. -- Thank you for watching this video.

Find out more here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/explore/plastics-and-the-circular-economy Plastics are versatile materials, but the way we use them is incredibly wasteful. More clean-ups and better recycling alone, won't solve plastic waste pollution. We must shift our focus to innovations and business models that design out waste, and keep materials in use and protect and restore our environment. We need a circular economy for plastic in which it never becomes waste or pollution. The vision for a circular economy for plastic packaging has 6 key points described in this video.
