Water Runs Through The Circular Economy
By Nick Jeffries and Paul O’Callaghan Circular economy approaches can add value to a vast range of processes and product sectors, but water is the ‘blue thread’ that flows through it all, Nick Jeffries tells Paul O’Callaghan, chief executive, BlueTech Research. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF) was launched in 2010 with a mission to accelerate the global transition to a circular economy.
Regenerative agriculture: how it works on the ground
“The soil is the great connector of our lives, the source and destination of us all” — Wendell Berry Photo by Siniz Kim on Unsplash History’s brightest minds are not always our modern day heroes, and as decades pass, the consequences of ingenious discoveries unfold.

Organic Matters
Cities are places of ingenuity and delight as well as engines of economic growth and opportunity. However, they are also great concentrators of organic material that is often landfilled at high cost or leaked into the environment, causing a host of environmental problems.

Applying the circular economy lens to water - Circulate
Water is in many ways a poster child for circularity. For the last 3.8 billion years, the earth’s stock of water, a constant 1.4 billion km3, has continuously circulated through the many stages and processes of the hydrological cycle, powered by the energy of the sun. In the last hundred or so years, a blink of an eye in planetary time, human activities have started to disrupt this well-tuned circularity in ways that risk our future prosperity as well as the health of the planet.
What does the sharing economy mean for a circular economy?
With startup success stories, acres of media coverage and stacks of investment, for better or worse the sharing economy has earned its place on the hype cycle of new trends and technologies in recent years. Use of the term and development of models have grown in parallel with the circular economy and the two concepts are clearly linked. This article will aim to answer some of the basic questions. What exactly do we mean by the term “sharing economy”? How does it relate to the circular economy?
