End-to-end producer responsibility: Producers are responsible for all impacts of their activities and products, from raw material extraction to product recycling/disposal.


There's no doubt that a single company can create and inspire change. But if all producers up and down the supply chain, and indeed across the economy, are holding each other accountable for all impacts by virtue of this principle, then we really do have the potential see the kinds of changes we need on a grand - global - scale. Effectively, a feedback loop. And let's not forget what Einstein had to say about about another feedback loop, compound income: it's "the most powerful force in the universe".


In this episode we see in Fast Fashion Brand Boohoo a case in point of many of the things we have been talking about: the Global Monetary System at work, almost blindly driving profit, with scant regard for its vast impacts in human and ecological terms. And failure of consumer power, and tension between activist censure and investor appetite. In contrast we also consider Renault, a company that is embracing complete re-use and recycling.


What would complete circularity look like?


Talking points:


The limits of limited liability


Out of sight, out of mind - we don't want to know


Fast fashion, Boohoo - and the Global Monetary System


Contributory factors in the development of fast fashion


Extended Producer Responsibility


Plotting the chain - gouging and dumping vs circular process


iPhones and the truth of supply chains


Is this a basis on which the world wants to work?


Renault transitioning to the new economy - PACE


Respect and the biosphere


Nature vs consumer culture


Ethos and company culture as something accessible


Community as a part of good business and good branding


Neo-liberalism means - take and don't care
