Our linear ‘take, make, waste’ economic system was designed this way — and that means it can be redesigned.

Six of the Earth’s planetary boundaries have now been crossed. This film explores how a circular economy can tackle global challenges including climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, and shows that by doing things differently, we can still turn things around.

Circular economy solutions are here, they are happening right now, and they can have a huge positive impact on each and all planetary boundaries.
