Infosys partners Ellen MacArthur Foundation to accelerate circular economy

Information technology major Infosys on Tuesday said it has joined hands with United Kingdom-based charity, Ellen MacArthur Foundation charity. They are planning work together to accelerate the global transition to a circular economy, Infosys said.

The circular economy offers an alternative to the linear ‘take, make, waste’ economy — one which is better for people, the economy, and the environment. The circular economy is based on three key principles — design waste out of the system, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems.

Ellen MacArthur Foundation works with its network of Strategic Partners, Partners, and Members. The network includes some of the world’s leading and most influential organisations, including businesses, governments, educators, innovators, and investors, to drive systemic change.
