About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Transforming the fashion industry: The Jeans Redesign
August 11, 2023

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Jeans Redesign Project encourages the fashion industry to create jeans fit for a circular economy. This means products are used more, made to be remade, and utilize safe, recycled, or renewable inputs. This initiative aims to make circular design the industry norm, starting with jeans.

As a UK charity, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation develops and promotes the circular economy concept: a system driven by design that eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature.
