Our current industrial processes and lifestyles are depleting the world’s natural resources to create objects that will often end up in landfills, all while churning out unwanted by-products like industrial waste.  Will this linear system work for us long-term?

The circular economy provides a framework for systems level re-design and offers an opportunity to harness innovation and creativity to enable a positive, restorative economy.  A circular economy seeks to rebuild capital, whether this is financial, manufactured, human, social or natural. This ensures enhanced flows of goods and services.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.  It aims to provide members with privileged access to a range of academic and practical tools, leveraging the platform’s existing knowledge base, education assets, ongoing research efforts and insight into other companies’ experience.
