The textiles industry's linear "take-make-waste" model has a significant environmental impact. To counter this, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation proposes universal circular economy policy goals. A key objective is to "make the economics work," fostering circular business models (resale, rental, repair) through incentives and regulations to make them the norm.

An April 27th episode explored how policy can enable this transition in fashion and textiles. Experts from the European Commission, European Environment Agency, and Swedish EPA shared perspectives on increasing circular business model adoption.

Cities are pivotal for transitioning to a circular economy. Currently, they consume over 75% of natural resources, generate 50% of global waste, and emit 60-80% of greenhouse gases due to a linear "take-make-waste" model. As urban populations grow, the circular economy offers a vital framework to address climate change and post-pandemic recovery, unlocking economic, environmental, and societal benefits.

City governments, leveraging policy, can lead this shift by engaging public and private stakeholders. This episode, powered by Restream, features the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Strategic Partner Cities—London, New York City, and São Paulo—discussing their progress in advancing circular economy solutions.
