What is the circular economy? The biological vs technical cycles

How can a mobile phone be made in a circular way? What about a sandwich? In this episode, our founder Ellen MacArthur and Circular Design Programme Lead, Joe Iles, look at these two different elements of the circular economy. They discuss the flow of materials in the system, from technical processes such as reuse and repair, to regenerating nature. If you missed the previous episode, where we went back to basics and learned what we mean by a circular economy, then we recommend listening to that first!
