The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a global organization dedicated to promoting sustainable economic practices through the principles of the circular economy, which focuses on reducing waste and reusing resources. Named after the renowned sailor Ellen MacArthur, it collaborates with businesses, governments, and academia to develop innovative solutions that keep materials in use longer, minimize environmental impact, and foster economic growth. The foundation provides research, education, and practical tools to help transition industries away from traditional, linear models of "take-make-dispose" toward more sustainable, regenerative systems.
