A new cohort of global innovators and thought leaders have joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Economy 100 (CE100) network, including Belgian thread manufacturer Resortecs and digital supply chain mapping platform Sourcemap.
CE100 aims to make the best use of the planet’s resources through designing for the prevention of waste, the reuse of products, and the recycling of materials.
The 12 new innovators are already designing, developing, and scaling circular business models, products, and materials. As new members, the Foundation says they will “inspire and enable other members to develop new circular partnerships and practices”.
Based in Belgium, Resortecs manufactures a dissolvable stitching thread used in zips, buttons, and fastenings for the easy disassembly of garments, so they can be reused, repaired or recycled.
Sourcemap, based in the US, helps companies build sustainable supply chains and identify and implement circular practices. It provides software to help companies and consumers trace products to their raw materials — ensuring those products meet social and environmental standards.
US company Optoro specialises in reverse logistics, helping retailers build circular business models and eliminate waste, with returned and excess goods going to a secondary use.
