About

This platform has been created by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to provide access to the new Circular Economy e-Learning Programme. This is a scalable, capacity building, online learning tool, which offers an introduction to the circular economy by delivering the key messages in just a few short modules. The programme includes multiple case studies, tangible examples and is self-directed so learners can tailor it to their time schedule.

The content is divided into five sections: an introductory overview module showcasing the value of a circular economy in just over 30 minutes, along with four 15 minute modules which address the functional business areas of R&D, Supply Chain and Procurement, Marketing, and Strategy and Finance.

The interactive and visually appealing programme has been created using an award-winning authoring tool and describes concepts using beautiful imagery, rich animations, audio narration and videos including a bespoke video message from Ellen MacArthur. Individual learner journeys can be tracked while challenge questions can earn achievement badges which serve as additional incentives for engagement

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation was established in 2010 with the aim of accelerating the transition to the circular economy. Since its creation the charity has emerged as a global thought leader, establishing circular economy on the agenda of decision makers across business, government and academia.
