Episode 43: I had planned for this episode to be a recap of my trip to the Circular Economy Symposium at Harvard, which took place earlier this month and I know some of you tuned into virtually! But, today I wanted to address the topic that’s everywhere right now: coronavirus.
In today’s episode, I am reflecting broadly on the effect that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on the circular economy movement. I’ve selected three positive effects I hope it will have including:
- Improving our ability for (virtual) collaboration
- Illustrating the possibility for strong leadership and quick action
- Supporting distributed – rather than centralised – circularity
We also touch on the European Commission’s New Circular Economy Action Plan.

About the Podcast
Getting In the Loop is a weekly podcast dedicated to exploring how to transform to a more circular society. Join host Katie Whalen as she examines the challenges facing our current resource use and discovers alternatives to the ‘take, make, dispose’ way of doing things. Each week she interviews circular economy experts about what they’re doing and learning. Together we’ll uncover what circular economy means in practice and find out what’s being done to keep our resources in a loop rather than sent to waste. It’s time for you to get in the loop!
