Explaining the Circular Economy and How Society Can Re-think Progress | Animated Video Essay

There's a world of opportunity to re-think and re-design the way we make stuff. 'Re-Thinking Progress' explores how through a change in perspective we can re-design the way our economy works - designing products that can be 'made to be made again' and powering the system with renewable energy. It questions whether with creativity and innovation we can build a restorative economy. ------ Thank you for watching this video.

What If We Don’t Buy Products and We Buy Service? Circular Economy Explained | Animated Video Essay

What if we didn't buy the goods we use, but instead favoured access and performance over ownership? This short animation from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation introduced the idea, and suggests how it could work for businesses, users, and the wider economy. A performance model is part of the solution when making the transition to a regenerative circular economy.
