Film Synopsis

Going “circular” refers to the necessary change from our current
take-make-waste linear economy to a borrow-use-return circular economy
(sometimes also referred to as the zero-waste or cradle-to-cradle economy).

The film is directed by A two-time Telly® Award and Emmy® Award-winning
filmmaker Graham Sheldon and presented by global sustainability expert,
Prof. Dr. Wayne Visser. And despite its dire warnings – John Elkington,
famous for coining the “triple bottom line” of sustainability says in the
film: *“if we continue with the linear economy if we’re to use a technical
term totally screwed”* – it is an optimistic film about innovative
solutions.

In support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (especially Goal 12 on
Responsible Consumption and Production), the documentary explores five key
strategies for achieving circularity – reduce, reuse, recycle, renew and
reinvent – by showcasing examples from Europe, Latin America and Africa and
featuring insights from experts from the likes of the World Economic Forum
and the Universities of Cambridge and Harvard.
