AMCIRC Welcomes Ellen MacArthur Foundation for Circularity

AMCIRC has welcomed the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as its new Insights Partner, a role established for multistakeholder organizations committed to advancing circularity. This collaboration signifies a joint commitment to developing circular textile systems across North America and on a global scale.

The partnership will see the Ellen MacArthur Foundation actively participating in AMCIRC's membership meetings, events, and activities. Both organizations will exchange valuable information, insights, and ideas to bolster their respective policy objectives and circular economy initiatives.

Rachel Kibbe, founder and CEO of AMCIRC, expressed enthusiasm for the Foundation's global perspective and expertise, highlighting their decade-long influence in shaping the circularity field. Danielle Holly, Executive Lead North America at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, shared similar excitement, emphasizing AMCIRC's critical work in educating stakeholders on textile policy and advancing the conditions necessary for circularity.

AMCIRC convenes a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including retail, resale, recycling, repair, manufacturing, and technology sectors. Their collective efforts aim to foster the growth of domestic circular textile systems and enhance US competitiveness within the dynamic global textile economy. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's involvement is expected to significantly contribute to these objectives.
