Plastic Disclosure

We are delighted that a new cohort of +20 financial sector companies have signed a manifesto calling for a UN Treaty to end plastic pollution. We urge others to join them in supporting a Treaty that will enable #circulareconomy solutions to scale globally.

The Foundation and the @BritishArts collaborated on the Circular Design Assembly last month, an event bringing together leaders of international design weeks, festivals and biennials. Find out more about the collaborative journey so far: ow.ly/g61H50ELDnt @British_Design

When it comes to everyday solutions, IKEA is a household name. They've now taken it one step further, by integrating circular design principles into their product creation from start to finish. Read about @IKEAUK's circular mission: tiny.cc/circularikea #CircularDesignNow

We cannot create a #circulareconomy until we can properly measure it. Sign up to Circulytics, the most comprehensive measurement tool available. It’s free and it’s vital for anyone that’s serious about transitioning to a circular way of doing business ow.ly/Qeuu50EkNaG

Without proper measurement, well-intentioned misinterpretations of the #circulareconomy can result in tweaks to linear systems, rather than the adoption of truly circular business models. Find out more about how measurement can help companies stay on track ow.ly/Lyup50DdmOF

Did you know that waste and pollution are largely a result of the way we design things? By harnessing new materials and technologies, we can ensure that waste and pollution are not created in the first place. Learn more about the #circulareconomy here bit.ly/2YmQhWU

There’s a massive opportunity right in front of us to rethink, reconsider, and redesign. It's time we look beyond the take - make - waste model and start making the right decisions. Decisions that would help us move to a #circulareconomy

In the living world, there’s no landfill. Instead, materials flow, and it works. If we accept that the living world’s cyclical model works, can we change our way of thinking so that we, too, operate a #circulareconomy?

When something is designed, critical decisions are made that impact how it's manufactured & used,& what happens when it's no longer in use. It's difficult to go back & undo the effects of those decisions if they are later found to produce undesirable consequences #circulareconomy
