The Circular Economy and Reuse

Ellen MacArthur Foundation
About this episode

There are significant material, energy, labour and carbon savings to be made by reusing, rather than remaking, a product.

How does this work in business? And how does it fit into a circular economy?

In this episode, Colin Webster from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation speaks to José Manuel Moller from Algramo about the role of reuse in household shopping, and to architect Nitesh Magdani about reuse in the built environment.
