THE 2018 LAUNCH CIRCULAR INNOVATORS
About LAUNCH Circular
The clothes you’re wearing, the chair you’re sitting on, the building you’re in– where will they go at the end of their usefulness? In this take-make-waste linear economy, they are likely to be thrown away. But on a global scale, there is no such thing as “away.” Our earth has limited space for storing waste, and limited resources for creating new products. At LAUNCH, we imagine a future where all products are designed to last, to be reused, repaired, and recycled. What we are building goes above and beyond the Circular Economy— we are building a truly Circular Society.
We're on a mission
The shift to a circular society requires new levels of innovation, collaboration, and action. For nearly a decade, LAUNCH has been catalyzing this shift by sourcing innovative new services, business models, cradle-to-cradle products, and regulatory frameworks.
To further establish a thriving circular society, we believe:

The time is now.
Never before in history have we had the knowledge, technology, and skills to shape a circular society and live up to our human potential.
We need to rethink ownership.
Constraints on the planet are driving demand for new business models, economic incentives, and efficient take-back infrastructures that support all humanity to thrive within planetary boundaries.


The future is not disposable.
The physical materials that surround us need to be durable and reusable: products, tools, and materials that are easy to disassemble and reintegrate into the value chain.
The future is collaborative.
With the support of the LAUNCH network, a new generation of innovators from around the world has the potential to create a circular society.
