Economics can be a powerful tool for change. By redefining economic growth through prosperity, job creation, and resilience—rather than GDP—we can enable people and the environment to thrive, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and pollution.

Achieving this requires a systemic redesign and transformative action from both public and private sectors. This episode explores how, covering goal setting, influential metrics, and the application of circular economy principles.

A circular economy, emphasizing upstream innovation at the design stage, is the only solution to plastic pollution, preventing waste before it's created. However, large businesses with complex supply chains struggle to adopt new circular models, while startups with disruptive solutions often lack the capital and networks to scale.

This session will explore how multinationals and emerging innovators can collaborate. Focusing on upstream packaging innovations and learning from recent pilot projects, they can forge a path to a truly circular model at scale.
