Hey! We are

Ellen MacArthur Foundation

At the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, we work with business, academia, policymakers, and institutions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

The circular economy is a new way to design, make, and use things within the limits of the planet and is based on three principles driven by design:

1. Eliminate waste and pollution

2. Keep products and materials in use

3. Regenerate natural systems

By changing the way our economy operates we can create a more distributed, inclusive, and diverse system which enables businesses, communities, and the environment to flourish.
