Call for suggestions for “100 People & Organizations in Circularity to Follow in 2026”

Due to popular demand, our “100 People & Organizations in Circularity to Follow” series will be back this year! To make the list truly diverse and inspiring, we are now looking for your input on which 100 individuals or groups (e.g. co-founders, collaborators, small teams, working groups, or larger organizations) to feature.

Given that our list will be released in the same "circular advent calendar" format as last year and we want to keep the names a surprise until the relevant days, we are asking you to submit your suggestions "secretly" using our form. You are welcome to share the form with others who could potentially be interested in contributing names, but please do not start posting or sharing the names of the actual people and organizations you think should be featured on social media or elsewhere as that will ruin the surprise and the fun for everyone!

Our form outlines who we are looking to feature on our list in closer detail, but here is a brief summary:

💚 We strive to find people and organizations, who are championing the transition over to a circular economy and more circular systems and who are truly mission-driven and generous in their approach.

💚 We are looking for people and organizations from all parts of the world, active in all sectors and aspects of circularity.

💚 We especially welcome you to put forward the names of “unsung heroes” (including women, local community leaders, Indigenous persons, and others from minority groups) who are seldom if ever properly recognized for their work in building a more circular and just future for all.

We are looking forward to receiving and reading through all your suggestions! Thank you for your support in helping us to celebrate, connect, and inspire circular impactmakers around the globe!
