Find out more here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/explore/plastics-and-the-circular-economy Plastics are versatile materials, but the way we use them is incredibly wasteful. More clean-ups and better recycling alone, won't solve plastic waste pollution. We must shift our focus to innovations and business models that design out waste, and keep materials in use and protect and restore our environment. We need a circular economy for plastic in which it never becomes waste or pollution. The vision for a circular economy for plastic packaging has 6 key points described in this video.

How do you convince work colleagues that your bright idea isn’t just another burden to their existing workload? Working with policymakers at the regional and city level in Italy, Luigi Acquaviva has had to learn a few tricks when it comes to turning environmental ideas into practice. Meanwhile in Scotland, Cheryl McCulloch had the job of exciting Glasgow businesses and policymakers about the circular economy. The circular city scan they produced managed to turn heads and opinions towards a new way of collaborating. --- Thank you for watching this video.

The global food system is responsible for between 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, most of which are generated at the production stage. Take rice, for example, a food staple that is eaten regularly by over half the world’s population. Conventional rice production generates emissions equivalent to the entire global aviation industry. So how can we produce rice in a way that uses fewer resources and regenerates nature? A growing number of farmers around the world are changing the way they produce rice, by adopting an agroecological approach called the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). This method relies on a small group of simple interventions that together significantly reduces water use, methane production, and the use of chemicals, while providing better yields and reducing labour for rice farmers. Multinational companies who support this type of agriculture through procurement and product design can address their scope 3 emissions and build resilience in their supplier communities. According to Project Drawdown, SRI currently accounts for 4% of rice production. If this was increased to 25%, the emissions reduction would be equivalent to that which is currently generated by the whole of India. ------ Thank you for watching this video.

Transitioning from a linear to a circular economy is not a uniform task across markets or geographies, which means, the strategies to “close the loop” vary, says Paul Bodnar, Global Head of Sustainable Investing at BlackRock - one of the world's largest asset management firms. In this teaser video for the #CircularEconomyShow on the circular economy and finance, Paul shares his insights on one promising model that he thinks is already being used to drive financial growth through the circular economy. Davinah Milenge, Principal Program Coordinator for Climate Change and Green Growth Department at the African Development Bank, shares further insights on the circular economy investment opportunity in developing markets.

Where do our clothes go when we’re done with them? In a city like New York alone, 200 million pounds of clothing are being landfilled annually - that is the equivalent of over 440 Statues of Liberty. Globally, 73% of the materials used to produce clothing are landfilled or burned at the end of their life, while less than 1% of old clothing goes on to be used to make new clothes. Two recent campaigns - Wear Next (New York) and Love Not Landfill (London) - aimed to divert clothes from landfill and encouraged brands and citizens to embrace the new mindset and make our wardrobes really work. They say that whether it’s swapping them, selling them, donating or recycling them, it’s possible to work together to prevent clothing from ever becoming waste. Join this session to find out why these campaigns were set up, how they went and what they learned. ------------------------ Thank you for watching this video.

45% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from how we make and use products like buildings, cars and clothes, and how we produce food. There needs to be a fundamental shift in the global approach to tackling climate change and the circular economy can play an essential role. In this conversation, the Foundation's Joss Bleriot and Per Klevnas from Material Economics discuss why the transition to renewable energy is only part of the picture in the conversation about what we need to do to mitigate climate change. Find out more about the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's latest report on the role the circular economy can play in tackling climate change and what this means for the strategies of countries and companies around the world. ------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video.

More and more businesses are adopting circular economy strategies and pilots, but how do they understand and measure success on the path towards that goal? Circulytics is a new company-level analytics tool, created by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, that reveals the extent to which a company has achieved circularity across its entire operations. Developed in collaboration with a number of companies, including the Foundation’s 13 Global Partners, and tested by over 30 companies in 2019, Circulytics aims to: Measure a company’s entire circularity, not just products and material flows. Support decision making and strategic development for circular economy adoption. Demonstrate strengths and highlight areas for improvement. Provide optional transparency to investors and customers about a company’s circular economy adoption. Ilma Stankeviciute, Learning Designer at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation - creates business focused learning content for the circular economy learning hub as well as designs and facilitates various learning experiences online and face to face. Jarkko Havas, Lead of Data and Metrics Initiative at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation - leads the Foundation's efforts on harnessing data and metrics to accelerate the transition to circular economy, and supports the Foundation’s Global Partners in exploring the value creation potential that circular economy offers. Tom Giddings, Sustainability Data and Reporting Manager at DS Smith - has been one of the leading figures in DS Smith's assessment and use of the Circulytics circular economy measurement tool.
