Millions of tonnes of plastic pollute our oceans annually. Despite significant investment and innovation, current clean-up efforts tackle less than 0.5% of this problem.

We need innovation that addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms. Our $2M Innovation Prize highlights possibilities to radically rethink how we make, use, and reuse plastic packaging. Discover more at the New Plastics Economy.

Ellen MacArthur and Stella McCartney co-hosted the launch of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s report, "A new textiles economy: Redesigning fashion's future." The report urges the fashion industry to adopt a new vision and foster cross-industry collaborations to achieve it.

The current "take-make-dispose" model causes significant environmental damage and economic loss. Every second, a garbage truck of textiles is landfilled or burned, resulting in an estimated USD 500 billion loss annually. By 2050, the industry could consume a quarter of the world's carbon budget. Additionally, it pollutes oceans with half a million tonnes of microfibres yearly, impacting food chains.

Ellen MacArthur delivered a special presentation on the circular economy.

This occurred at the BSR Conference 2015, held in November 2015 in San Francisco, California.

Climate change and increasing raw material scarcity demand a radical shift from traditional business models. A circular economy is essential.

Businesses are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation by controlling waste, utilizing cleaner energy sources, and collaborating with NGOs and governments.

This concept was highlighted in an article published on May 14, 2013, by The Guardian.
