The role of design in the circular economy

With 45% of global greenhouse gas emissions coming from how we make and use things, design has huge potential to influence our transition to a circular economy.

In this episode of the Circular Economy Show Podcast, we explore why design is important, what ‘circular-ish’ means, and hear about the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s six design leverage points.

In a conversation taken from a recent episode of the Circular Economy Show, hosts Seb and Lou talk to the Foundation’s Design Lead, Joe Iles, about how these leverage points can support designers in their journey towards circularity.
