The Ellen MacArthur Foundation looks to build a circular economy by working with government, business and academia. The aim of the foundation is to create an economy that is restorative and regenerative, supported by funders and partners.

In this step, we meet Joe Illes, who graduated from the University of Bristol in 2010 with a degree in History. He joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as a Digital Marketing Coordinator, working on editorial pieces and social media, before becoming Editor in Chief. Within this role, he created and now runs Circulate, the circular economy news website. Through Circulate, Joe can champion commentary on economics, business, and society from the perspective of the circular economy. In this video, Joe discusses some aspects of the circular economy.
