Show Notes

We often say we're going round in circles like it's a bad thing. But it might just be the key to a better future for our planet – and the people on it. That's the idea behind switching to a circular economy. But what would that new economy look like? And what can we do to make it happen?

Tune in to find out:

  • What a circular economy really looks like - and how we can build it
  • Why James believes it creates huge opportunities for business
  • How Hege is leading IKEA in rewiring its business model
  • Our guests' favourite examples of the circular economy (hint - one hails from the 80s…)
