The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works in education, business innovation and analysis to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
The circular economy is a generic term for an economy that is regenerative by design. Materials flows are of two types, biological materials, designed to reenter the biosphere, and technical materials, designed to circulate with minimal loss of quality, in turn entraining the shift towards an economy ultimately powered by renewable energy.
