Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Jackie Wu, CEO and co-founder of Corvus Robotics, to explore how AI and autonomous drones are redefining inventory management, and what that means for the future of supply chain resilience.Most warehouses today still rely on people with barcode scanners trudging up and down aisles, a slow, error-prone, and frankly unsustainable process. Jackie's team has built the world's first fully autonomous drones capable of flying through massive warehouses, some the size of ten football fields, to scan inventory in hours instead of weeks.We talk about why inventory accuracy is the invisible foundation of supply chain sustainability: if you don't know what's where, you can't optimise, decarbonise, or even plan effectively. Jackie explains how real-time data from drones helps companies reduce waste, prevent stock loss, and cut emissions linked to overproduction and unnecessary transport.We also dive into the importance of building resilience through visibility, the limits of traditional automation, and why AI-driven robotics are finally ready to move from lab demos to real-world industrial use. Jackie shares insights on the future of AI in the physical economy, vertical integration, and why autonomy, not just automation, is the next leap in supply chain efficiency.If you're curious about how robotics, data, and design thinking can make operations smarter, safer, and more sustainable, you won't want to miss this one.Listen now to learn how autonomous drones are helping warehouses take sustainability, and resilience, to new heights.#SupplyChain #Sustainability #AI #Automation #Resilience #WarehouseInnovation #InventoryManagement #CorvusRobotics #TomRaftery #SustainableSupplyChainPodcastElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

In this episode, CJ sits down with Joe Floyd, General Partner at Emergence Capital, for a candid conversation about the venture landscape reshaped by AI. They unpack how acqui-hires are rewriting the social contract between founders and investors, why AI engineers are commanding “boy band money,” and how SaaS playbooks are being torn up and rebuilt in real time. Joe explains the economics of AI-native startups — from circular capital flows to model-provider costs — and explores whether the next trillion-dollar private company could come from this new wave. Along the way, they discuss valuation frenzy, headcount discipline, and why curiosity might be the most valuable skill in tech today.—LINKS:Joe Floyd on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joefloyd/HarbourVest Partners: https://www.emcap.com/CJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.comRELATED EPISODES:Why Fundraising Has Slowed Down: Insights from Emergence Capital's Benchmarking Report: From Credit Karma to Notion: CFO Rama Katkar on Leading Finance Through Every Growth Stage:—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:00) Preview and Intro(00:00:54) Opening and Episode Overview(00:02:53) Sponsor – RightRev | Tipalti | Aleph(00:07:07) Back to the Office and Startup Pace in San Francisco(00:08:40) AI Tooling Experiments and the Risk of Short-Term Hype(00:10:19) Building Stickier AI Products and Competing in Crowded Markets(00:12:27) SaaS Moats, Product-Market Fit, and the AI Shift(00:14:00) How Productivity Platforms Use AI To Stay Sticky(00:15:58) Continuous Authentication and the Next Wave of Security Tech(00:16:36) Sponsor – Rillet | Fidelity Private Shares | Mercury(00:19:54) Acqui-Hires, the Social Contract, and the War for AI Talent(00:22:42) Stock-Based Comp and the Economics of Attracting Engineers(00:24:39) The New Go-to-Market Playbook and Curiosity as a Superpower(00:27:59) AI's Impact on Sales, Forecasting, and Buyer Behavior(00:29:11) Coding Agents, Headcount Reduction, and the Future of Engineering(00:32:21) Building Defensible IP and Competing in the LLM Ecosystem(00:34:34) AI ROI, Payback Periods, and the Search for Efficiency(00:37:17) Valuations, Fund Cycles, and the Venture Market Reset(00:40:20) The Circular Flow of AI Capital and Infrastructure Overbuild(00:45:37) AI Pricing Models, Platform Wars, and Open Source Futures(00:50:02) The Race to the First $1 Trillion Private Company(00:51:09) Credits and Outro—SPONSORS:Fidelity Private Shares is the all-in-one equity management platform that keeps your cap table clean, your data room organized, and your equity story clear—so you never risk losing a fundraising round over messy records.

Antes de seguir hablando de la magia, en este episodio damos un paso necesario: comprender la esencia genérica de la religión. De la mano de Andrés Carmona exploramos la teoría del espacio antropológico de Gustavo Bueno, con sus tres ejes: Circular (las relaciones entre los hombres). Radial (la relación con las cosas y la naturaleza). Angular (la relación con los animales). Es en este último eje donde nacen los númenes, los primeros animales considerados con poder especial, origen de las religiones primarias. A partir de ahí recorremos las fases de la religión: Primaria → númenes animales. Secundaria → dioses corpóreos, como los del Olimpo. Terciaria → la Idea de Dios como ser abstracto y metafísico. También hablamos del ateísmo esencial del materialismo filosófico, que sostiene que la Idea de Dios es contradictoria, pero que la religión, como práctica humana, es una realidad efectiva. Un episodio que abre camino hacia el siguiente tema: comprender la magia desde su propia esencia genérica. 📅 Estrenado el miércoles 1 de octubre a las 12:00. 📩 Más en www.imposiblesimprobables.com

In this episode, Nick Carfora and Daniel Moore speak with interior designer Nancy Beka (not a registered architect), Co-Director of Studio Edwards, about carving a unique path into Melbourne's design scene and redefining sustainable practice. Originally from Adelaide, Nancy's journey began with the challenge of breaking into a competitive industry. After relocating to Melbourne, she quickly made her mark by creating initiatives during the pandemic to keep the design community connected remotely. These projects became a platform for exploring innovative materials, zero-waste strategies, and new ways of thinking about construction. Nancy shares how founding Alt Material, a collaborative forum for experimental and sustainable design, opened opportunities to work with like-minded creatives and expand her understanding of material life cycles. Her commitment to circular design thinking shines through in projects like Today Studio, a workplace fit-out that champions adaptive reuse, material passports, and honest, low-waste detailing, earning recognition in the Australian Interior Design Awards. Named to the Australian Design Review 30 Under 30, Nancy reflects on the value of mentorship, community, and storytelling in building a resilient practice. Her experience shows how curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to sustainability can transform challenges into opportunities and reshape the way we design, build, and connect.

In this GMS Podcast episode, host Ingrid sits down with Dr. Anand Hiremath, CEO of the Sustainable Ship and Offshore Recycling Program (SSORP), to examine two sharply different approaches to ship recycling and what they mean for ship owners worldwide. The conversation starts with Canada's Deep Water Recovery case in British Columbia, where regulators found repeated toxic discharges of heavy metals such as copper and lead, weak pollution controls, and long legal disputes. This case illustrates the environmental and business risks of recycling a vessel without strong oversight and clear waste-handling systems. Dr. Anand then takes listeners to Alang, India, where more than one hundred ship recycling yards are certified under the Hong Kong International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships (HKC) and many also meet EU Ship Recycling Regulation standards. Key insights include: How HKC yards build a Ship Recycling Plan from a detailed Inventory of Hazardous Materials before a vessel arrives. Use of impermeable flooring and closed drainage to capture and treat oil, paint scrapings and wash water, preventing ocean contamination. Worker training and ISO 45001 safety systems, with protective equipment, insurance and family health coverage. Independent audits by ClassNK, Lloyd's Register and other IACS members, ensuring constant compliance instead of slow court battles. Circular economy benefits: re-rolling 75 percent of hull steel cuts energy use by about 58 percent and avoids around 1.6 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne of steel compared with melting in European dry docks. Regulated removal and off-site treatment of hazardous waste such as asbestos. Dr. Anand explains why HKC-compliant beaching in Alang can match or exceed dry-dock recycling in environmental performance, while offering the scale and steel reuse rates global shipping needs. For ship owners, cash buyers and maritime professionals, this episode provides practical guidance on choosing a ship recycling destination that is verifiably safe, cost-effective and climate-friendly.   Subscribe to the GMS Podcast and follow GMS on LinkedIn for future updates and discussions.

Welcome to another episode of Ours To Protect on Clare FM. Today we're going to hear about the Circular Economy and the work that Circular Communities are doing in their local areas.

Leading Swedish e-commerce platform CDON has selected Finnish tech startup Renow to manage circular returns and resale of products for CDON and its merchants directly in a dedicated marketplace, redefining the recommerce category and reinforcing the company's commitment to the circular economy. CDON has entered a long-term partnership with Finnish recommerce startup Renow to inspect and resell returned products directly in CDON's marketplace. The partnership aims to solve the logistical and operational challenges of open-box product returns while building the resale category that supports circular consumption and benefits both customers and merchants. CDON's marketplaces serve customers in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, with its central logistics hub located in Sweden. With products being sold by merchants across Europe, managing returns is both a complex and sometimes expensive operation for the customer. With the introduction of Renow's local logistical network, CDON will reduce the cost and time spent for its customers. At the same time, making them available to customers in a fast and cost-efficient way increases the lifecycle of returned products. Renow and CDON aim to encourage circular returns in Scandinavia For CDON's merchants, the benefits are clear. Returned products can be resold locally instead of being shipped back to the country of origin, thereby reducing logistics costs. Customers gain value from a fast and easy return, while the merchant avoids a total loss. Through this process, CDON adds a new service layer that strengthens its relationships with merchants and enhances overall sustainability performance. "We see recommerce as a natural next step for CDON and for e-commerce at large," says Kattis Åström, CCO at CDON. "It's about reducing waste, helping our merchants cut costs, and giving customers more affordable and sustainable choices. Renow brings the technology, infrastructure, and mindset needed to make this happen. We value partners who move fast, think long term, and share our focus on the customer experience." Reselling returned goods has historically been a slow and inefficient process, often resulting in bulk disposal or warehouse buildup. By integrating Renow's AI-powered recommerce infrastructure and decentralized logistics network, CDON can now handle returned products locally, inspect and grade them using Renow's technology, and resell them to consumers directly on its marketplaces - quickly, sustainably, and with full transparency on product quality. Through the partnership, CDON's resellable returns are processed and relisted in a recommerce category. Customers can purchase quality-verified, discounted products with buyer protection and fast delivery. Each product is inspected and graded by Renow's AI system, which integrates directly with CDON's customer service workflows to streamline the process from return to resale. "For ecommerce platforms, returns are typically seen as a headache," says Kalle Koutajoki, CEO and co-founder of Renow. "With CDON, we're turning that challenge into a scalable circular model. Our platform helps process returns locally, reduces unnecessary transport and waste, and extends the life of products that still have plenty of value to offer." With circular commerce gaining traction and new EU regulations promoting more sustainable practices, the CDON-Renow partnership sets an example for the Nordic e-commerce ecosystem. It also signals a new opportunity for merchants across the region. "Our goal is to make it easy for marketplaces and merchants to participate in recommerce without building everything from scratch. With CDON, we're showing what's possible. We're ready to expand this model with other players in the region," Koutajoki concludes. CEO Kalle Koutajoki "For marketplace merchants that dropship products abroad it's expensive to ship them back to the originating warehouse, especially if the item is large and difficult to move like a TV for instance. ...

What does it take to bring rental models into the world of large household appliances (white goods) and why might this be a key step in scaling the circular economy?In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, we're joined by Valentin Lheureux, COO of HomeCycle, a French startup pioneering rental for washing machines, dryers, fridges, and other essential “white goods.”Valentin shares his journey from working in retail to founding HomeCycle, motivated by the unsustainable pressures he saw in the linear economy. He explains why tackling rental for large appliances is so challenging, what customers really want, and how partnerships with manufacturers could change the industry for good.✨ In this episode:Valentin explains how customer demand is shifting, with convenience, repair, and simplicity driving adoption of appliance rental.We discuss the unique financing challenges of white goods rental and why partnering directly with manufacturers is the “royal way” forward.Valentin shares how HomeCycle approaches repair and refurbishment to extend product lifetimes and make rental a compelling alternative to ownership.We explore the difference between B2C and B2B customers, from families to co-living spaces and student accommodation.Valentin reflects on why HomeCycle chose the “hard path” of big appliances and their ambition to become France's leading rental specialist.We consider the tech gap and why existing rental software doesn't yet fully support circular models.

How can conversation become a real driver of circular transformation? In this episode, George Marshall explains why conversations are central to circular change and how to design them to build trust, reach across difference, and motivate action. Circular economy strategies often focus on systems and structures but lasting change only happens when people connect new behaviors to their own identity and values. Without shared understanding and engagement, technical solutions risk staying at the surface. Recorded live at the LOOP Forum 2025, his keynote explores how businesses can move beyond top-down messaging to create real dialogue that activates people at every level of an organisation. This episode is part of our series on the LOOP Forum 2025 highlights, bringing you the key ideas and insights from this year's leading Nordic event on circularity.

Across the next two episodes of PGAP, we will be showcasing the good work from CASSE NSW Inc (https://www.casse-nsw.org.au/)., who are advocating for the steady state economy in Australia. For this episode, we interview Phil Jones, Treasurer and Secretary, as he shares with us the progress of government reports and inquiries into the Circular Economy. Furthermore, why it is crucial that we encourage the government to take serious action in implementing the circular economy, rather than letting their reports gather dust in Canberra. We discuss two reports in particular: The Circular Economy Ministerial Advisory Group (https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/protection/circular-economy/ministerial-advisory-group), established in 2023, and: The Productivity Commission “Opportunities in the Circular Economy (https://www.pc.gov.au/inquiries/current/circular-economy/interim)” interim report The circular economy is defined by Wikipepdia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_economy#Critiques_of_circular_economy_models) as: “a model of resource production and consumption in any economy that involves sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible.” Phil is positive with the potential for the rollout of the circular economy in Australia, especially in its capacity to catalyse existing initiatives such as recycling programs, repair cafes, second hand exchange initiatives, etc. However, he cautions that the circular economy is alone insufficient in achieving true sustainability unless it is coupled with the Steady State Economy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady-state_economy). That is, "an economy made up of a constant stock of physical wealth (capital) and a constant population size, which does grow over the course of time". The episode concludes with a call to action to get some real and action in response to these reports. A good place to start is by signing the CASSE NSW INC petition (https://www.casse-nsw.org.au/post/casse-nsw-s-petition-to-parliament) to establish a Federal government inquiry into the steady state economy.

In this episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski welcomes Felix Heisel, Director of Cornell University's Circular Construction Lab, for a deep dive into why designing for disassembly could transform our built environment—and our economy. Felix unpacks how buildings account for 50% of all extracted materials and 41% of global CO₂ emissions, and explains why rethinking end-of-life strategies is critical. They explore the concept of buildings as material banks, the power of local reuse over global recycling, and why a Lego-like approach to construction can unlock new jobs, preserve cultural heritage, and eliminate waste. From policy innovations in New York State to the promise of salvaged timber grading, this conversation reveals how circular construction can create healthier cities—and a more resilient future.More About Felix HeiselFelix Heiselis is an Assistant Professor and the Director of the Circular Construction Lab at Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. He is a faculty fellow at the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability and a graduate field member in architecture, systems engineering, and design technology. Heisel is a licensed architect in Germany and partner of 2hs Architekten und Ingenieur PartGmbB, an office specialized in the development of circular prototypologies. Heisel's scholarship focuses on a systemic redesign of the built environment as a material depot of endless use and reconfiguration. He has received various awards for his work and published several books and articles on the topic, including Building Better- Less-Different: Circular Construction and Circular Economy( Birkhäuser,2022); Urban Mining und kreislaufgerechte sBauen(Urban Mining and Circular Construction, Fraunhofer IRB, 2021); Cultivated Building Materials(Birkhäuser, 2017), and Building from Waste(Birkhäuser, 2014).Heisel graduated from the Berlin University of the Arts and has been teaching and researching at universities around the world, including the Berlage Institute, the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction, and City Developments, the Future Cities Laboratory Singapore; ETH Zürich; and Harvard GSD. The Circular Construction Lab(CCL)at Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning houses a design research program that advances the paradigm shift from linear material consumption towards a circular economy within an industrialized construction industry. At the intersection of architecture, engineering, material and computer science, as well as economics, the lab investigates new concepts, methods, and processes to (1) design and construct buildings as the material depots for future construction, and (2) activate the potential of the built environment as an 'urban mine' for today's construction. CCL understands architecture as part of a regenerative and restorative cycle and sees design as a vehicle that can advance this ambition with excellence in teaching and research. Through close collaborations with academic, industrial, and legislative/ political partners, the lab ensures the relevance of its work and promotes the direct and full-scale implementation of research results towards a more sustainable, low/ no-carbon, circular construction industry.CONTACT:http://ccl.aap.cornell.edufelix.heisel@cornell.eduhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/felix-heisel/ Where To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/https://www.instagram.com/advancedglazingsltdhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedGlazingsltd

On today's show, Episode 181, this is the SECOND PART of a discussion that I had with Professional Mechanical Engineer Andrew Hoy about the biblical Hebrew Ohel Mo'ed – the tabernacle or the tent of Elohim (“God”) as described in the Bible in Exodus Chapters 26 and 27. As a professional mechanical engineer and the son of a professor of mechanical engineering, Andrew Hoy approached the subject of the tabernacle structure with exacting attention to detail, drawing on his knowledge of Hebrew, textual biblical evidence, and the mathematical constant referred to as 3.14, commonly known as “pi.” What Andrew discovered in the Exodus Hebrew texts challenged him to reconsider the traditional tabernacle model and to begin accepting the textual biblical evidence showing that the Israelite Tent or Tabernacle was a circular structure with a dome-shaped design. Join me for the second part of our discussion about what Andrew discovered about the biblical tabernacle and why the information is so vital to our Hebraic and Messianic Torah Walk of Faith.

A conversation with Matt Orlando, chef, entrepreneur, and former head chef at Noma. He is also the founder of Amass, one of the most circular and fully organic restaurants in the world, which closed at the end of 2022. He then focused on a project in Singapore and is now back in Denmark, currently very busy with, among other things, a new restaurant in Copenhagen.What happens when someone who worked as a head chef in one of the best restaurants in the world, Noma, starts going deep—deep—down the rabbit hole of sustainability and responsibility?Welcome to a fascinating journey of one of the most interesting chefs in the world, who not only redefined what a circular, sustainable restaurant mean (and no, it isn't more expensive to run, and it doesn't require a lot of tech, etc.), but it does require a completely new mindset and way of thinking.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.
