How Digital Technology Can Help Enable a Circular Economy Annika Hedberg

Artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing - what do these all have in common? They’re all technologies that can help drive the circular economy, of course! In this week’s episode of the Getting in the Loop circular economy podcast, I speak with Annika Hedberg from the European Policy Centre about digitalization and the circular economy. Annika is the co-author of the book ‘The Circular Economy: Going Digital,’ and in this episode, she’s sharing examples of how digital technologies can help enable a circular economy and make business models, products, and processes more circular by improving knowledge and information sharing. Resources and links discussed in this episode are available at gettinginthelooppodcast.com.

Welcome to Getting In the Loop – a podcast dedicated to exploring how to transform to a more circular society that recognises our planet’s limited resources. 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 (including Anna Tari of the Circular Economy Club, Ken Webster of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and many more). 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.
