Plastics Revolution Podcast

In this podcast, I’m chatting with the innovators, change makers and fellow entrepreneurs leading the plastics revolution. We’ll go from concept to reality. What drove them to start it? How did they fund it? And what impact have they already made? Along the way, we’ll also share tips and ideas so that you too can be a part of the solution.

I hope you enjoy the show!
