The Circular Economy: lost in translation

Multistreaming with Restream.io

Does circular economy terminology create misleading understandings, hindering its real-world implementation? Businesses and policymakers frequently discuss the challenges of transitioning to this new economic system, grappling with barriers like finance, policy, and supply chains.

While these are crucial, an often-overlooked challenge lies in the words and terminology themselves. This group will explore why choosing the right terms is as vital to the transition as finding alternatives to single-use plastic, identifying influential words and phrases.

Short version: How Circular is Your Company?

As businesses increasingly adopt circular economy strategies, understanding and measuring their success is crucial. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation introduces Circulytics, a new company-level analytics tool. Developed in collaboration with 13 Global Partners and tested by over 30 companies, Circulytics reveals the extent of a company's circularity across its entire operations.

Learning Designer Ilma Stankeviciute explores this innovative tool and speaks with an early adopter, Tom Giddings from DS Smith. Jarkko Havas, Lead of Data and Metrics, spearheads the Foundation's efforts to accelerate the circular economy transition. A shortened version of the original live stream is available, with the full recording accessible here.

The future with educative games about sustainable development | Robbie van Dijk | TEDxHvAmsterdam

Driven by curiosity and a passion for creation, Robbie van Dijk studied Product Design, focusing on human-environment interaction. He was drawn to the circular economy, viewing it as a revolution rather than just a trend, due to its use of natural and technical cycles.

To advance this vision, Robbie founded Sercular Games, aiming to redesign the future by educating and motivating the next generation through serious games.
