The team behind this podcast bring information that’s new and fascinating all the time. It’s a great source. I enjoy the fact that the podcasts are only as long as they need to be. They do play a little piece of music between elements too often though. Upgraded that please!
I’m a sustainability professional and although I really like the topics of this podcast, I think the conversations are very hard to get something concrete out of, as the complexity is so high that they often end up having very general discussions. I wish they would take point of departure in something concrete to exemplify the complex. And please do a wrap up in the end😊
Very insightful interviews with stakeholders from a range of industries. I especially enjoy hearing from people around the world, talking about how they are implementing positive change today, by transitioning to a circular economy. Keep up the good work!
Inspiring and hope giving
This is the best place to gain knowledge and intuition about what a circular economy means, as well as the steps we are taking, and need to take, to get there.

The show centers on circular economy solutions spanning policy, business strategy, finance, and technology. Episodes frequently explore packaging reform, e-waste, critical minerals, and the economics of reuse, refurbishment, and buyback, with a strong emphasis on real-world implementations, cross-sector collaboration, and scalable models. Notable strengths include a policy-forward lens from leading think tanks and NGOs, practical case studies from global brands, and a focus on measuring impact beyond traditional sustainability metrics. This mix makes it a valuable resource for listeners seeking actionable strategies, industry-wide trends, and examples of how to move circular economy ideas into core business and policy decisions.
