Nick chats with Mike Lazelle and Dr Rob Turner, co-founders of Kwetta, to discuss their groundbreaking approach to electrifying heavy vehicles. Kwetta has just raised ~$17 million AUD in Series A funding from the likes of Blackbird and Virescent Ventures to address the “grid issue” for EV charging. And they've given us a podcast exclusive!Their innovative chargers connect directly to the high-voltage grid, providing up to 10 times more power, cutting installation times by up to 70%, and avoiding costly grid upgrades.We dive into:Why electrification is the key to near term emissions reductionWhy the hardest part of electrification is no longer the vehicles or batteries - it's getting power from the grid.How Kwetta's technology solves grid bottlenecks while being a “good grid citizen.”How a small, world class team from Napier New Zealand (founded with CEO Dustin Murdock) is competing with global giantsHow much Canterbury Beer was consumed at Rob and Mike's first meetingKwetta is about to announce their first sites in Australia so it's great timing to bring them on!Find out more at: www.kwetta.com**If you like the show, please subscribe/review/rate or comment.

In this episode, Lindy Hughson, Managing Editor & Publisher of PKN Packaging News talks to Julia Kay, co-creator and co-CEO of Great Wrap, about the company's entrepreneurial journey to developing a compostable pallet wrap. The Melbourne start-up was inspired by Julia and her husband Jordy's former careers in architecture and winemaking, which showed them the sheer impact that plastic pallet wrap has on the environment. The discussion starts with an insight into the shift Great Wrap underwent from manufacturing home compostable cling wrap for household use on a small scale, to moving to a larger, more sustainable, and localised factory able to produce the industrial stretch wrap options now available in their range.Julia adds insight into the challenges around selecting the right raw material to deliver the tensile strength required for pallet wrap, and the measures taken to ensure the products can be composted. Julia also shares her experiences showing the pallet wrap product at APPEX, and the feedback from attendees. We wrap up with a mention of Great Wrap's new c02 to PHA biorefinery, plans for international expansion, the growth in the team, and finally, some sage advice for entrepreneurs from Julia.Links:Sponsor - Trimattwww.trimatt.com - 03 8761 6171 - info@trimatt.com Great Wrap:greatwrap.com.auGreat Wrap launches breakthrough pallet wrapwww.packagingnews.com.au/latest/great-wrap-launches-breakthrough-pallet-wrap Great Wrap brings compostable pallet wrap to APPEXwww.packagingnews.com.au/events/appex/great-wrap-brings-compostable-pallet-wrap-to-appex------------------------------The PKN Podcast is produced by Southern Skies Media on behalf of PKN Packaging News, owned and published by Yaffa Media.The views of the people featured on this podcast do not necessarily represent the views of PKN Packaging News, Yaffa Media, or the guest's employer.

Madieson is the head of PR and Communications at Great Wrap. I nerded out with Madieson, as PR's do when they get together, to understand the inner workings of how Great Wrap has gained memorable media attention since the very beginning of their business journey.    In this episode, Madieson walks us through Great Wrap's humble beginnings, where founders Jordy and Julia were packing orders in their living room after getting their first Broadsheet feature. They've since outgrown their first production facilities and even secured some major series A investments.   We dive deep into what has really worked in the Great Wraps PR strategy, why PR has been the cornerstone of the brands marketing efforts and how Madieson has utilised the power of micro-influencers in the sustainability industry to boost their brand visibility.   If you're a founder in the early stages of business and are looking for cost effective ways to get your brand in front of an audience that will convert into dollarydoos, this chat's for you.   Find Madieson online:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/madieson-ryan https://greatwrap.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/great_wrap/     Find Odette Barry online https://www.odetteandco.com.au/hackyourownpr  https://instagram.com/odetteandco  https://instagram.com/hackyourownpr

This week Alex is away so Nick is let loose on the podcast! Nick chats to Christiaan Jordaan, CEO and founder of Sicona.  Sound familiar? We interviewed Christiaan in back November 2021 in one of our all-time listener favourite episodes: "Australia's Role in the Battery Revolution". Since then Sicona has come a long way! Fresh off their recent $22m funding round for their battery technology we thought we'd cover the big issues since our previous chat: How the US Inflation Reduction Act has changed the game for climate startups (2:05) How Australia should respond (9:11) How the rise of Artificial Intelligence has affected climate startups like Sicona (12:29) Christiaan's HOTTEST TAKES on venture capital and funding climate solutions (15:38); and The inside scoop on Christiaan's recent funding round (21:28) In case you missed our last episode with Christiaan, here's a quick recap on Christiaan and his business (or you can have a a listen here) Sicona aims to revolutionise the battery world by improving battery efficiency with their unique anode materials, a technology that can be used with existing lithium ion batteries. Christiaan is also the co-founder of Novalith, a company that uses carbon dioxide as a reagent in extracting lithium. We have an episode featuring Novalith where we spoke to his Co-founder Steven Vassiloudis.

We chat to Doug Mcnamee from Jolt Charge, an Australian electric vehicle charging business that has raised $100million from Blackrock (the world's largest money manager). EV uptake in Australia is on a charge! When we recorded our first EV episode in 2021, they comprised less than 0.5% of total sales. In the first half of 2023 this number was up to 8%. So while EVs are just one part of decarbonising how we move, the signs are promising. We enjoyed chatting with Doug about the future of transportation, whether Australia is out of the EV doldrums and what makes Jolt Charge different.

Julia and Jordy Kay are the entrepreneurs behind the incredible success of Great Wrap - a company that produces compostable cling wrap and pallet wrap, originating in Melbourne. During our conversation, Jordy and Kay stepped us through the company's inception four years ago to its current state of operation - a 10,000 sqm factory in Tullamarine. They also shared insights into their valued university R+D partners and the process of turning potatoes into plastic.

We chat with Vince Allen from SunDrive, a Sydney-based startup on a mission to transform Australia into a solar manufacturing powerhouse. In 2021, SunDrive made headlines by developing the world's most efficient commercial-sized solar cell. Not only that - by swapping silver with copper as the conductive material their products could be lower cost too. With over $30 million in funding from high-profile investors like Blackbird, Mike Cannon-Brookes, Main Sequence Ventures, Malcolm Turnbull, and CEFC/Virescent Ventures, they're a force to be reckoned with. We loved this chat and especially Vince's love of solar, passion for Australia's great opportunity and also his toast analogy to explain how a solar panel actually works.  We are proudly supported by Bank Australia (www.bankaust.com.au). ** Don't miss out on future episodes—hit that follow button!

Julia kay Great Wrap Jordan and Julia Kay, the Co-founders of Great Wrap, are reimagining today's materials to solve tomorrow's problems.Their former careers in winemaking and architecture, respectively, led them  to Great Wrap when they recognised the sheer impact plastic waste was having on the land. There was a materials revolution around us, and everything was changing rapidly — yet plastic stayed the same. “We knew the technology existed to end plastic waste, but there weren't any products available. So we invented the products we knew the world was missing. We are makers by trade, so manufacturing our own products was the obvious route for us to take.”We're driven by impact, fuelled by demand and have a 10-year vision for a world where plastic doesn't exist.Great Lab is the innovation and technology department at Great Wrap. They research, analyse and conceptualise our ideal solutions — all based on science. We will always use the best materials within Great Lab and never stop searching for ways to improve our products. Deborah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/what.ive.learnt/Mind, Film and Publishing: https://www.mindfilmandpublishing.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/what-ive-learnt/id153556330Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3TQjCspxcrSi4yw2YugxBkBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1365850

Julia and Jordy Kay wanted to help reduce the amount of discarded plastic on the planet so they launched Great Wrap, a materials science company that's turning potatoes into compostable stretch wrap. Since its inception in 2019, Great Wrap has been featured on Netflix's Down To Earth with Zak Efron and the pair have raised more than $24 million to aid them in their mission to replace traditional polyurethane wrap. For more on Great Wrap and show notes: https://www.shopify.com/blog/great-wrap-plastic-free-factory-global-recognition?utm_campaign=shopifymasters&utm_medium=youtube&utm_source=podcast

Jordy and Julia Kay's former careers in winemaking and architecture led to recognizing plastic waste's impact on the planet. In 2019, the couple launched Great Wrap, working with Monash University to create the only compostable stretch wrap made from food waste. In 2022, they received $24 million in series A funding to help reach their 10-year vision of a world where plastic doesn't exist.  Listen to Nathan discuss with Jory and Julia about:  Falling hard into a personal and business relationship Partnering with a university for commercial product research  How licensing and partnering helped Great Wrap scale faster Building a pilot factory from scratch The benefits of being both a B2B and DTC business The risk and reward of being an impact-driven business Advice for going into business with a significant other How to raise funding as a manufacturing startup  And much more impact-driven business advice… This episode is powered by 99designs by Vista, a global creative platform that makes it easy for you to work with professional freelance designers from around the world.  Together with 99designs, we're offering you a $30 discount on your first design contest.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Stephan Jacquemot, Investment Partner bei TS Ventures. Stephan hat die Runde von Canyon, Great Wrap und Frontegg analysiert: Die deutsche Fahrradmarke Canyon hat in einer vom US-Basketballspieler LeBron James angeführten Finanzierungsrunde 30 Millionen Euro erhalten. Der Schritt erfolge über LRMR Ventures, eine Firma von James und seinem Geschäftspartner Maverick Carter gemeinsam mit dem US-Finanzinvestor SC Holdings, teilte der Canyon-Mehrheitseigentümer Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL) am Freitag mit. Die belgische Beteiligungsgesellschaft GBL war Ende 2020 bei dem Radhersteller eingestiegen. Damit wird das Unternehmen mit 750 Millionen Euro bewertet, da die Investoren darauf setzen, dass der weltweite Fahrradboom weiter anhält. Frontegg, der beliebte Benutzerverwaltungsdienst für Entwickler, die B2B-SaaS-Apps erstellen, gab heute eine Series-B-Runde in Höhe von 40 Millionen US-Dollar unter der Leitung von Stripes und Insight Partners bekannt. Mit dieser neuen Runde, die auf die im Dezember letzten Jahres angekündigte Serie-A-Runde in Höhe von 25 Millionen US-Dollar folgt, erhöht sich die Gesamtfinanzierung von Frontegg auf 70 Millionen US-Dollar. Zu den weiteren Investoren gehören Pitango First, Global Founders Capital und i3 Equity. Das Unternehmen plant, die neue Finanzierung zu nutzen, um sein Produktangebot zu erweitern, in seine Infrastruktur zu investieren und seine Go-to-Market-Teams in Tel Aviv und der San Francisco Bay Area zu vergrößern. Außerdem konnte das in Victoria ansässige und gegründete Materialforschungsunternehmen Great Wrap 24 Millionen US-Dollar Kapital aufbringen, um mit seinen biologisch abbaubaren Produkten “Erdölplastik vollständig aus den Supermarktregalen zu verdrängen". Die Investition in Höhe von 24 Millionen US-Dollar umfasst einen Eigenkapitalanteil von 11 Millionen US-Dollar, an dem sich unter anderem Darren Thomas, W23, Grill'd Innovation Fund, Giant Leap, Small Giants, Thai Wah Ventures, GroundSwell, Trail Mix Ventures und Springbank Collective beteiligen. Die letzten 13 Millionen US-Dollar sind nicht verwässertes Kapital, dessen Konditionen laut Co-Founder Jordy Kay für ein Startup wettbewerbsfähig sind, und stammen von der DLL Group, dem Asset-Finanzierungsarm der Rabobank.

Julia was an architect, her passion had led her to working on international projects that were creating spaces that could inspire people and make the world a better place through design. She began to obsess over the materials they were using to build these projects. She couldn't bring herself past the amount of petroleum-based plastic wrap that was being used, even on low-carbon embodied projects.She met her now-husband Jordy, who at the time was working on his own business growing and selling organic and biodynamic wines from South-West Victoria.Their business, Great Wrap is revolutionising the products we use at home in our kitchens as well as pallet wrap, which, subsequently goes on nearly every product that's produced ever, at some stage in its life.Great Wrap takes potato waste and through a sophisticated process turns it into a cling wrap that can be used for keeping household items fresh and keep items that are placed on pallets together and dry during transport. Their product is completely home compostable, meaning that it will break down in the soil into carbon and water. I loved my time with them out at their factory in Tullamarine in Melbourne, I learnt a lot from them about start-up business, and the difference between the types of 'degradables', and left feeling so inspired by what these two have achieved and will go on to achieve. So inspiring!!This episode is a collaboration between us and EvokeAg, heading to Adelaide in 2023 on the 21st and 22nd of February the event brings together incredible people who are shaping the future of Food.

Welcome to Unstrictly Business, a podcast all about work-life balance, combating burnout, and cultivating success inside and outside the office. We do this by sharing behind-the-scenes interviews with successful business owners as well as other resources for busy business people. I'm your host, Calli! I'm the Founder of “Do Well Dept,” an inclusive online community that helps passionate work-from-home entrepreneurs & remote businesses achieve overall wellbeing for themselves, their employees, and their business.    This week's guest is Julia Kay, the co-founder of Great Wrap an Australian made and owned compostable stretch wrap company based in Melbourne, and this year they're on a mission to remove 8,910,000 tonnes of plastic stretch wrap sent to America's landfills each year.    And what's really cool for all my American listeners is that they are launching in the United States this summer. Julia and her partner Jordy launched Great Wrap in 2020 after they noticed the excessive amount of plastic stretch wrap that was heading straight to landfill each year. Jordy, a former winemaker and Julia, a former architect knew they needed to find a solution.    Personally, I've struggled to find a perfect saran wrap/cling wrap solution for my home so I was really excited to learn more. But where Julia and Jordy are really reducing the amount of plastic that goes into landfills is by decreasing the amount of plastic wrap used in shipping. Incredibly, they found a way to turn potato scraps into their stretch wrap that won't put any more microplastics out into the environment.   In this episode you'll learn how Julia and Jordy the issue of plastic waste and actually turned it into a solution and a business and what they've learned along the way (from the good and the bad!).    Plus, you'll discover what they've learned from working with investors and the most powerful investments they've made in their business.    In this episode, you'll discover…     How Julia's previous careers steered her towards Great Wrap  Why they've chosen to tackle plastic and food waste    Great Wrap and their 10 year vision of a world without plastic Why they've chosen to the United States as the first international country      Thanks for listening to this week's episode of Unstrictly Business!

If food waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. On this episode of FoodTech Junkies we speak with Julia and Jordy Kay. One was an architect and the other a winemaker, and both have become eco-warriors. Their latest project involves diverting food waste from landfills and converting it into an eco-friendly alternative to plastic, and is only the first step in a long term effort. Tune in to find out more! About Jordy and Julia Kay We're Jordy & Julia Kay (the former architect and winemaker) and we're the Co-founders of Great Wrap. Our goal is to make products from the best materials possible, everyday. Currently we manufacture home compostable stretch wrap from food waste and with our team of brainy scientists and engineers, we will continue to improve our materials and offer many more products. Our team at Great Wrap are proudly developing technology that will change the world, one roll at a time. So buckle up and thanks for joining us on the ride! About Great Wrap We saw a materials revolution happening around us. Everything was changing rapidly; energy, transport and agriculture yet plastic stayed the same. We knew the technology existed to put an end to plastic waste but there weren't any products available on the market for us to use. That's when Great Wrap was born. We invented the products we knew the world was missing so we can dump plastic once and for all. We are driven by impact, fuelled by demand and have a 10 year vision for a world where plastic doesn't exist.
