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.

On November 18, tourism will be a key topic at COP31 in Antalya, TΓΌrkiye, focusing on zero waste and the circular economy. This week on The Circular Economy Show, Pippa speaks with Patricia DueΓ±as from Iberostar Hotels & Resorts and Virginia FernΓ‘ndez-Trapa from UN Tourism about the practicalities of circular tourism, emphasizing the need for local infrastructure, consistent policies, and coordination.

The year ahead is crucial as 2027 is designated the UN’s International Year of Sustainable and Resilient Tourism. This presents an opportunity for businesses and destinations to collaborate on sustainable practices.
