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.

Transforming rice farming through regenerative production to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
February 17, 2023

The global food system, responsible for 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, seeks sustainable rice production. Many farmers are adopting the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), an agroecological method that reduces water, methane, and chemicals, while boosting yields and cutting labor.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, promotes a circular economy. This design-led model eliminates waste, pollution, circulates materials, and regenerates nature, aligning with sustainable practices.
