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.

Innovation is key to the transition to a circular economy. Business models like ClubZERO, founded by Safia Qureshi, exemplify this by reducing waste and keeping items in circulation, minimizing the need for new production. Qureshi explains how their model addresses waste reduction challenges.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, promotes the circular economy – a design-driven approach that eliminates waste, circulates materials, and regenerates nature.
