Sustainability Series: Circular Economy

Sustainability Series: Circular Economy

In this Sustainability Series session we were kindly joined by Joshua Newton from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to discuss all things Circular Economy! 
Joshua initially introduced the fundamental principles of the concept of a ‘Circular Economy’ and then gave examples of the application of a Circular Economy in the real world. 

A circular economy is an economic system that is regenerative and able to retain as much value as possible from products, parts, and materials. It seeks to scrap the normal linear functioning economic system of taking resources from the planet, making something of it and then throwing it away. 

Adopting a circular economic system benefits everybody, whilst living within the limits of our planet. Please enjoy our session to learn more about a Circular Economy and how to apply this to our individual lives and local communities.
