FILM DESCRIPTION: Going “circular” refers to the necessary change from our current take-make-waste linear economy to a borrow-use-return circular economy. The film is directed by Emmy® Award winning filmmaker Graham Sheldon and presented by global sustainability expert, Prof. Dr Wayne Visser. And despite its dire warnings, it is an optimistic film about innovative solutions. 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.
