In the final part of this series, our founder Ellen MacArthur and Circular Design Lead, Joe Iles, discuss what individuals can do to make the circular economy happen, and the role design has in accelerating this transition.

Ellen also looks back at some of the progress that has been made since launching the Foundation a decade ago.
