It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature. experts and members of the LEGO Group team, the session will focus on the importance of harnessing creativity in the transition to a circular economy — a new way to design, make, and use things that’s better for people and the planet.
As we work towards creating a circular economy, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving are becoming essential skills. The event will encourage participants to use those skills, using LEGO bricks to bring their vision of a better future to life.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. We develop and promote the idea of a circular economy, and work with business, academia, policymakers, and institutions to mobilise systems solutions at scale, globally.
