The circular economycircular economyA systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature. is about more than making incremental improvements — it’s about transformative change. It requires a whole system shift from a take, make, waste linear economylinear economyAn economy in which finite resources are extracted to make products that are used - generally not to their full potential - and then thrown away ('take-make-waste'). to a circular economy designed to eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials, and regenerate nature.
But what does it take to redesign an entire economic system? In this episode, we look at the role of data and digital technologies, and explore the innovations disrupting the status quo and transforming the way producers, retailers, and customers interact with one another.
Join us as we travel to Prague and London to hear from circular economy trailblazers who are using digital technologies to implement and scale circular economy solutions.
