Podcasts about Circular economy

Hello everyone and welcome back to CleanTechies the Podcast. This is episode 71.If you are a climate tech founder with specific questions you'd like us to ask -- OR -- looking for capital and strategic partner introductions, please reach out to me via the Slack Channel or LinkedIn and we are glad to help in any way we can.  If you're unfamiliar with Alternative Proteins, this episode should be a good place for you to start - especially if like me, you're not a white-coat scientist.Today Sharyn Murray from Good Food Institute (commonly referred to as GFI) joined us to speak about Alternative Proteins and what they are doing at GFI.Sharyn is highly knowledgeable in this space and was able to really shed light on a lot of things inside this space from how the proteins are grown (in a way understandable to a non-scientist), the infrastructure required to grow the industry, how local farmers will be affected, and many other things. An incredible episode that should be especially helpful for anyone interested in the Alternative Protein space. TOPICS:[3:20 - 5:40] - Intro to Sharyn & Effective Altruism[6:20 - 8:24] - moving to GFI & differentiating herself[9:30 - 13:34] - GFI & the Origin[14:10 - 18:01] - Terminology of Alt Protein Space[20:14 - 23:49] - Adoption, taste & price, regulatory issues, and cost parity[27:06 - 28:44] - Carbon impact of the space - 20% of Global GHG, & the alternative is 98% carbon emissions-free[30:01 - 32:42] Regenerative Farming or Alt-Protein[33:23 - 36:46] - How are alt proteins made (for non-science people)[37:23 - 39:54] - Missing infrastructure [40:17 - 44:19] - How farmers are affected by this shift / helping them / affects of climate change[49:20 - 52:26] - The Alt Protein ESG reporting framework from GFI / FAIRR[53:14 - 55:02] - Conventional and Disruptive orgs enter space[55:40 - 57:32] - The grant program: who can apply, how, and the target outcomes[57:57- 59:02] - How to get into Alt-Protein space - advice for early career individuals[59:15 - End] - ClosingWe hope you enjoy today's episode - please reach out with any specific questions or discussion points.

Upstream's latest Indisposable Live panel is now available as a podcast!This engaging discussion on the New Reuse Economy features Upstream CEO & Chief Solutioneer Matt Prindiville, Anita Schwartz (WSP USA) and Crystal Dreisbach (Don't Waste Durham / Green to Go NC), and was hosted by Upstream's Chief Strategy Officer, Priscilla Johnson. Learn from these thought leaders why reuse beats single-use on every measure – even when accounting for environmental impacts from transit and washing – and the vision for how we can get there, through creative engineering, policy, and community efforts that serve as models nationwide. The livestream first aired in conjunction with the publication of Upstream's latest white paper, “The New Reuse Economy: how reuse systems and services will revolutionize how we consume” which you can read in the resources below.Resources: Upstream's latest paper: The New Reuse Economy: How reuse systems and services will revolutionize how we consumeYouTube recording of Envisioning the New Reuse EconomyDon't Waste DurhamGreen to Go NCWSPUpstream's Strategic Direction Statement

Sean Davis is the founder and managing director of Merton Capital Partners, an adjunct professor at Palm Beach Atlantic University, and the Author of "Solving the Giving Pledge Bottleneck." Merton Capital Partners develops innovative investment strategies to unlock philanthropy's potential by incentivizing corporations to generate large-scale good in their core businesses. What the heck is the link between philanthropy and water? That may be very obscure if you're like me before meeting Sean. Yet you'll see that it will make a lot of sense in just twenty minutes.  I've often discussed with brilliant minds on that microphone how people without safe water or cities without wastewater treatment made little economic sense. We've talked about wrong pockets issues and highlighted all the reasons why we thought something could be done.  Yet, I was long seeking the spark that could ignite the revolution, and I fear that I'm not the only one. In their "Worth of Water" book, Gary White and Matt Damon say nothing else: they have a proven path to scale to solve the water challenges within two decades, but they lack the seed money to get the ball rolling.  Sure, we could all wait for states to walk the talk. But if we're still discussing SDG 6 or aging infrastructure at the end of 2022 in pessimistic or alarming terms, it's probably a sign that we should not have too high hopes from that path.  So what's left? Tears and sighs? Well, that's where the new path Sean introduces today brings a bright new hope. Philanthropic money doesn't have to be spent at a loss - and there are significant pockets of investments that look for the right vehicles.  This is how in a minute, we'll discuss evergreen investment strategies, blended capital, helping philanthropists to get the highest bang for their buck, and much more. My conversation with Sean made me think of many new ways to connect the Water dots, so I'm pretty sure it might do the same for you! If that's the case, spread the word and share that episode with your friends, colleagues, or LinkedIn network. And if you want me to dive deeper into the topic, I'd be honestly delighted to, now that I've got a bit more knowledge thanks to Sean's book (the link to it is in the show notes, check it out!) Come tell me on LinkedIn, remember to share that episode, and I'll meet you on the other side! How to Actively Invest Philanthropy and Save the (Water) World?

You asked, we answered! In this episode, Tad and Julianna discuss a few of the anonymous questions we have received from our audience. The audience questions that we answer in this episode include: My company doesn't know what to do first, should we do our carbon footprint benchmarking or a life cycle assessment? My company is trying to understand how we should do our Scope 3 analysis. Do you have any suggestions on how to approach this? How can I calculate greenhouse gas emissions for an LLDPE plastic poly bag using virgin resin? Then how can I calculate the reduction by using a 90% post-consumer resin in the same product? What's more important for manufacturers to prioritize: Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) or Health Product Declarations (HPDs)? With so many certifications in the marketplace, how does a consumer quickly educate themselves on what products are certified? What are the differences in what a certification looks at and what certification represents my beliefs? As an end consumer, what are some sustainability efforts I can take on my own and in my own house? Interested in submitting a question for Tad to answer on an upcoming episode?

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. The circular economy is an economic system where all resources are continually used and nothing is wasted. Goods and services are produced in such a way that primary resources are preserved as far as possible. European policy aims to support the transition towards a circular economy, but it requires significant change. Are we saying the circular economy is a kind of economic utopia? Is this transition likely to lead to job losses? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: How can I stay trendy buying only second hand clothes? What are the best ways to reuse my household waste? What is premium mediocre - the illusion of luxury? A Bababam Originals podcast, written and produced by Joseph Chance.

Walter R. Stahel is the Founder-Director of the Product-Life Institute (Switzerland), the oldest established consultancy in Europe devoted to developing sustainable strategies and policies. He is Senior Research Fellow at the Circular Economy Research Centre, Ecole des Ponts Business School and Visiting Professor in the Department of Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of Surrey. He is also a full member of the Club of Rome. He was awarded degrees of Doctor honoris causa by the University of Surrey, l'Université de Montréal, and the 2020 Thornton Medal of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. He is the author of The Circular Economy: A User's Guide."We have to solve three problems. We have to create a low-waste society through incentives to change individual behavior from consumer to user through loss and waste prevention, and intelligent resource management. We also have to create a low-carbon society by preserving the water, electricity, and CO2 emissions embodied in physical assets or through innovation in green electricity and circular energy. And the third challenge, which is probably the biggest, we have to create a low anthropogenic mass society by preserving these existing stocks of infrastructure, buildings, equipment, vehicles, and objects. The only strategy I know that can fulfill these three challenges is a circular industrial economy.Now the last point, low anthropogenic mass society is simply because some years ago, the rapidly growing anthropogenic mass has become bigger than the world's biomass. And that of course means we are destroying the biomass because we have a limited planet, and we are destroying biodiversity and replacing it with synthetic manmade materials and objects. And this in the long term means we are killing ourselves, so we have to stop producing anthropogenic mass, except in countries that don't yet have sufficient infrastructures for education, health, living, and sufficient food to feed the population."www.product-life.orgwww.routledge.com/The-Circular-Economy-A-Users-Guide/Stahel/p/book/9780367200176www.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info Instagram @creativeprocesspodcast

There are significant material, energy, labour and carbon savings to be made by reusing, rather than remaking, a product.How does this work in business? And how does it fit into a circular economy?In this episode, Colin Webster from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation speaks to José Manuel Moller from Algramo about the role of reuse in household shopping, and to architect Nitesh Magdani about reuse in the built environment.__Useful links:Explore the butterfly diagramRead the reuse bookletLearn more about AlgramoVisit Net Positive SolutionsListen to all episodes of the Circular Economy Show PodcastVisit the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's website

Tom Rooney is Chairman and Operating Partner at Sciens Water. Sciens is a research-driven investment fund that identifies uncovered, under-researched, or misunderstood water sector opportunities that are undercapitalized. I cannot name one of my about 120 guests so far that would not have taught me something during our conversation. If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know how intentional I am about connecting the dots. Every single new episode hence has to bring us one step closer to the "Truth" with a big "T" - given that this Truth is a moving target and doesn't really exist. Yet, every once in a while, I collect a nugget that really shines a new light on what I thought I knew. It could be Paul O'Callaghan's take on the dynamics of Water Innovation by Season 3, Episode 3. Or Reinhard Hübner's water company M&A masterclass by Season 5, Episode 1. Or Piers Clark's debunking of the water pilot's myth by the first episode of this Season 7, to only name three. Well, Tom's adaptation of Maslow's theories to the Water field clearly belongs to this category, as all of a sudden, it explains a lot of the undervaluation of water we experience every day.  What is it? Well, I won't butcher the concept and let Tom explain in a minute. You'll probably enjoy as well how clear and explicit he is about the one challenge that's the root of all the other ones, and I'd bet you'll have as much fun as me listening to that conversation. If that's the case, all I ask is that you take this episode and share it with a colleague, a friend, or your LinkedIn network! That's the best way to support me, and I'd be grateful if you took a minute of your time to do it. Can I count on you? I'm sure I can, let's meet on the other side! How does Maslow explain a lot of America's Broken Water Economics?

We're currently seeing a drive towards the growth of the renewable energy (RE) sector. We're seeing a new iteration of corporate liberalism which allows the state to expand markets, in this case for renewable energy, but at a cost related to justice and health of communities in or near areas extracting materials for the RE sector. The most recent example of this is the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA created incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles, renewable energy and more and it provides $27 billion in funding for accelerating clean energy technologies. So the question as we're seeing the growth, and government funded growth, of renewable energy, is how clean is it really? In our latest episode, we speak with Raquel Dominguez (@dominguez_raque) with Earthworks (@Earthworks) about clean energy and a circular economy, the impacts of mining for the RE sector and reactions from state and non-state actors to this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Intro/Outro- "G&R Blues" by Moody Links// What's Missing from the New IEA Report on Mining and the Renewable Energy Transition?

Mirka Wilderer is the CEO of De Nora Water Technologies. De Nora is a leading provider of equipment, systems, disinfection, and filtration solutions for water and wastewater treatment. Back in my years as a sales engineer, I used to map the competitors' landscape when working on large projects. And in my quite specialized world of advanced wastewater treatments, I was very good at predictions, or that's what I thought. One day, on a very large project, I was discussing with the design office, and they had curious Ideas as to how to shape their process. I couldn't recognize any of the patterns; the usual suspects would have left! The reason would reveal some weeks later: there was a new kid on the block, De Nora Water Technologies. If you recall my discussion on that microphone with Reinhard Hübner, we've already seen examples of companies rapidly built from the bottom up in our otherwise conservative sector. But DeNora is again another breed than SKion Water. The water division was created in 2015 from an M&A move involving Severn Trent Services. And since then, the company has followed quite an aggressive track, through internal and external moves, with a double-digit growth that led to a successful initial public offering on the Milano stock exchange last summer.  It's been a while that I wanted to address this trajectory on the podcast, and I had already approached Mirka for this around the BlueTech forum last year in Vancouver, but with the IPO on the horizon, the timing wasn't right.  So when our paths crossed again during Sciens Water's Rethinking Water conference in New York, I couldn't let the opportunity slip away to get some valuable insight on how to successfully go public, keep and develop a hunter mindset, or grow into a fully different area as a before quite traditional family business.  As for Patrick Dekker last week, I was a bit short on time to go into the level of depth I would have liked to. But you'll see that Mirka goes straight to the point and probably delivers a new record in insights per minute on that microphone!  So without further due, I'll let you dive into our conversation. Just remember that if you like what you hear, please take that episode and share it with a colleague, a friend, or your LinkedIn network! Come one, do it, and I'll meet you on the other side! How De Nora Grew from 0 to IPO in 7 Years (with Cheat Codes!)

Texas Trash Talker Stacy Savage Biography Stacy Savage was born and raised in Southeast Texas where her parents worked at oil refineries for a collective 75 years. Her personal experience with hazy skies, rotten egg smells, and cancers in her family drove her down a professional career path to protect the planet. Mrs. Savage has been a “recycling nerd” for 20 years starting out as a door-to-door community organizer tackling recycling and landfill expansion issues. She played a pivotal role in passing 2 key pieces of statewide legislation for free and responsible recycling of computers and televisions. She served as an Austin City Council appointee on the Zero Waste Advisory Commission (ZWAC), where she helped pass numerous local waste, recycling, and composting ordinances. In 2013, Mrs. Savage founded Zero Waste Strategies, an environmental consulting firm specializing in Zero Waste protocols supporting the Circular Economy. With a client list including Dell, AT&T, Nestle Purina, Kohler, Belden and the City of Austin, among many others, her consultancy works with leaders to reduce waste for increased revenue, deeper customer loyalty, employee empowerment, and a green marketing edge.

The circular economy is often wrongly characterised as a tech solution, or a solution for tech, but it's about much more than that.As we heard in episode 97, there are two cycles: the technical and biological one. In this episode, we're exploring the latter.Colin Webster from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation talks to farmer and soil advocate Abby Rose, and Gero Leson, Vice President of Special Operations at Dr. Bronner's, to hear about the benefits and practicalities of agriculture in a circular economy.--Useful links:Find out more about food and the circular economyCheck out Abby Rose's podcast FarmeramaLearn more about Dr Bronner's work with farmersDiscover more about the biological and technical cycles Listen to all episodes of the Circular Economy Show PodcastVisit the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's website

Plastic is polluting our waterways and oceans, but biotechnology may deliver solutions. Plant-based bioplastics that can break down in months are one solution. Another is mighty microbes bioengineered to speed up consumption of plastic. This episode spotlights scientists, companies and even a filmmaker and artist who are working in different ways to tackle the growing problem of plastic waste. Guests:Scott Tuten, Chief Marketing and Sustainability Officer, Danimer ScientificAndrew Held, Vice President of Engineering & Business, VirentDr. Tae Seok Moon, Associate Professor of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis, Founder and head of the Scientific Advisory Board, Moonshot BioBen Lear, Independent Film Producer/Director

This was our first time talking about this topic, and for me, it was the first time I really have ever heard the argument for Propane. This was a really fascinating topic as it appears Propane could serve as a really great interim fuel to make immediate impacts on reducing carbon emissions. We hope you enjoy today's episode - please reach out with any specific questions or discussion points.

Henrik Hagemann is the CEO and co-founder of Puraffinity. Puraffinity is a GreenTech Company that designs smart materials for environmental applications. As you may have discovered by Season 4, Episode 1, they strive to solve the daunting PFAS / Forever chemicals challenge we face. We all have PFAS in our blood, and this for quite a simple reason: forever chemicals are everywhere around us. For the better and, let's face it, often the worse, we use PFAS in so many parts of our daily lives that it would be almost impossible to ban them.  This wouldn't be much of a problem if they weren't that toxic: I know, thank you, captain obvious.  Yet, PFAS also confronts the Water Sector with a complex equation to solve. On the one hand, we'd like to protect everyone from toxic substances, and with the advancement of technology, we can, but on the other hand, doing so is still prohibitively expensive today if we were to do it on a large scale.  Sure, promising new ways might change the name of the game; we've, for instance, discussed on that microphone how supercritical water oxidation could eliminate PFAS and everything else theoretically in an even energy-positive fashion. But we're still far from the large scale today. Let's pause here for a second and apply some advice we heard here a while ago from Claudia Winkler and Alice Schmidt: let's zoom out before we zoom in. We need PFAS in so many of the products we use, so we produce PFAS. And then, we realize more and more how dangerous they are, so we destroy PFAS. And the cycle goes on. Don't you think there may be a better way? Well, that's what we'll explore today with Henrik. And he'll do that much better than me, so I won't spoil you with what he explains so well! I'll let you buckle up for a fascinating 360-degree update on PFAS, where we discuss regulations, recycling, new treatments and their limits, perspectives, and even Erin Brockovich! And remember, if you like what you hear, please share that episode around you. Send it to a friend, a colleague, or your LinkedIn network; come one, do it, and I'll meet you on the other side! Should We Really Destroy PFAS? No! Your Fridge Knows a Better Way.

What do you do when something you own, say a toaster, breaks? You've usually got two options: fix it, or replace it. It often feels like replacing an item is easier than repairing it, and the most cost-effective solution. But in a circular economy, we want goods and materials to stay in circulation at high value for as long as possible. So how does that work in reality?In this new series, Colin Webster from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation explores individual elements of the circular economy.In this episode, he's joined by Dr Conny Bakker, Professor of Design Methodology for Sustainability and Circular Economy at TU Delft, and Josephine Philips, the founder and CEO of Sojo, a UK-based third party clothing repair service, to discuss the role of repair.--Useful links:Learn more about the EU's Right to Repair legislation Find out more about Conny Bakker's workDiscover more about SojoRead more about how circulating products and materials contributes to a circular economyListen to all episodes of the Circular Economy Show PodcastVisit the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's website
