The circular economy is a powerful tool against the climate crisis, though its benefits are often unrecognized by current carbon accounting frameworks like the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. In this episode, João Murilo Silva Merico from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation explains how circular practices—such as reuse, remanufacturing, and sharing models—are not adequately rewarded for their emissions reductions.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an international charity promoting a circular economy that eliminates waste, circulates materials, and regenerates nature.
