11: Platforms to Power A Circular Economy

Platform-enabled Ecosystems to Power A Circular Economy

As we look to the horizon of a sustainable future, a circular economy and its impact on our environment becomes ever more important. With the growth and reach of platforms throughout our economy and society, to what degree can circular systems be enabled by our platform economy? 

This fascinating opportunity is the topic of today’s Ecosystemic Futures podcast, as our co-hosts Marco Annunziata and Christopher Potter sit down with Dr. Peter Evans, the Chief Strategy Officer at MacFadyen Digital, to discuss the ways that platforms and ecosystems can power a circular economy, inform supply chain and sustainability, and unlock greater ecosystemic wellness within society.
