Last year the UK government published this report, The Future of Manufacturing. The report emphasises the growth of the circular economy, and it’s relevance to a changing context. So what is the circular economy, and why is it relevant to students?
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation believes that the circular economy provides a coherent framework for systems level re-design and as such offers us an opportunity to harness innovation and creativity to enable a positive, restorative economy.
