In this week's episode I chat to Jessica Alexanderson, known to many in the industry as “Scuba Jess”. Jess started out in shipping with Evergreen, where she was responsible for helping scrappies ship their recycled metal around the world. In her free time, Jess cleans up the ocean on her diving expeditions.Jess has always been passionate about the environment and when the opportunity presented itself, she transitioned into educating the net generation of recyclers. She partnered with Brad Rudover of Detroit Scrap and educator Shaziya Manji Jaffer to publish their first kids book, The Girl Who Recycled A Million Cans.They have since published a second book, A Recycling Adventure To The Scrapyard, and are about to publish their third kids book on recycling, Recycled Lava.Just this week Jess launched an NGO, The Recycling Society, to help students learn how recycling works, raise funds for their schools, and take real action to create lasting impact in their schools and communities.Jess' mission is one that every single scrappy can get behind, and if you don't know about all the great work she is already doing, I hope that after listening to this episode that you buy in hook, line and sinker!If you ever see Jess at an industry event, you absolutely have to meet her in person. She is a ray of sunshine and brings exactly the energy and enthusiasm we need to inspire the next generation!In this episode, we talk about:

177. Making Textiles from Post-Consumer Recycled Materials with Wylie Robinson

In episode 177 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss what it takes to design high-quality outdoor gear using post-consumer recycled materials—everything from how they differ from virgin fibers to the limitations and challenges of working with them in technical products. We'll dig into how a commitment to sustainability shapes product development, where circularity fits into the broader picture, and whether today's recycling systems are truly scalable for the textile industry.We also discuss how consumers can better evaluate sustainability claims and what's next in eco-innovation from brands like Rumpl.Rumpl's story began in the back of a van (literally) when its founders found themselves stranded in the cold during a ski and surf trip in California. Wrapped in sleeping bags and sipping whiskey, they realized the performance materials used in technical gear could be reimagined for everyday comfort.

115. Buying Used vs Made from Recycled Materials: What's More Sustainable? with Emme Hayes

In episode 115 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, I sat down to chat with Emme Hayes, the founder of Articles in Common. During our conversation, we learned a lot about one another and just how much we actually had in common, including our thoughts on buying used gear and keeping products in circulation for as long as possible. Since buying used is a topic I've explored with other guests in the past, it was fun to take a new direction with Emme and compare how recycling gear and textiles may or may not fit into what we view as a circular production model.  Emme Hayes is the founder of Articles In Common, an online marketplace for outdoor gear and apparel. As a climate activist, I was disappointed when I learned that the outdoor apparel industry was growing at a rate that would diminish our progress to net zero. Frustrated by the limitations of trade-in programs offered by outdoor brands, I wanted an easy way to send in gear that offered a transparent marketplace for outdoorists and athletes alike.
