It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature. Show explores, investigates, and showcases the very latest circular design, landmark policies, and business innovation taking place, to tackle some of the biggest global challenges we currently face.

Join us every month to find out.
We’ll be talking to circular economy pioneers across the globe, who are working towards a future that creates prosperity for the economy, the environment, and for people, within our planetary boundaries.
