The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Startup Index

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a not-for-profit organization on a mission to promote a circular economy.

It conducts evidence-based research, shedding light on the benefits of a circular economy. Its work extends beyond theory, aiming to address pressing global issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss. The foundation delves into opportunities across diverse stakeholders and sectors, showcasing real-world examples of circular economy principles in action.

As part of their commitment to education and empowerment, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation provides formal learning opportunities through circular economy courses. Additionally, they create valuable resources for teachers and academics, fostering a community of informed individuals who can further drive the circular economy agenda forward.

Recently, the Foundation has developed the Circular Startup Index, a database collecting global innovators and entrepreneurs who are actively putting circular economy principles into practice. Each startup featured in the index is carefully selected to exemplify one or more key aspects of the circular economy.
