Welcome to the final episode of Purpose and Profit with Kathy Varol. Over the past four years and 100 episodes, this podcast has been a space to celebrate, uplift, and learn from business leaders who are ushering in a new era of conscious capitalism. These remarkable individuals are redefining what it means to succeed in business by bringing heart, humanity, and an inspiring sense of responsibility into everything they do. As we wrap up this chapter, I want to reflect on the incredible journey we've shared. Let's revisit a few of the incredible guests who've inspired us along the way, and some of the most important lessons they've generously shared with us.

Innovationer som ska göra modeindustrin mer hållbar får ofta mycket uppmärksamhet, vi hör om imponerande automatiska sorteringsanläggningar och nya smarta tekniker för återvinning. Men vad är egentligen innovationerna värda om  det fysiska flödet inte fungerar? I dagens avsnitt fördjupar vi oss i det brännande ämnet cirkulär logistik. Det handlar om transporter, lagring och andra närbesläktade aktiviteter, som plock och lastning, i cirkulära flöden. Ju större de cirkulära flödena blir desto viktigare är det att kunna hantera flödena kostnadseffektivt och hållbart. Annars riskerar utvecklingen mot en cirkulär ekonomi att stanna upp. Ett avsnitt där vi bland mycket annat pratar om paralleller till e-handelns barndom, om "first mile"-lösningar, om monomaterial, om hanteringen av unika varor, om skalbarhet, om att byta 'dead stock' med varandra i dagens modeindustri och om cirkulära metoder på Lower East Side för hundra år sedan. Intervjuade i programmet är Erik Sandberg, professor i logistik vid Linköpings Universitet och Stephanie Benedetto, en av grundarna till Queen of Raw, en amerikansk startup som matchar köpare och säljare så att överblivna tyglager kommer till användning. Queen of Raw stöds förresten av inkubatorn MIT Solve. Programmet leds av Jenny Lantz, docent i företagsekonomi med inriktning på kulturekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm, och inslaget med Stephanie Benedetto, från New York, görs av modejournalisten Sofia Hedström de Leo. Tack för att du lyssnar!

Stephanie Benedetto is the Co-Founder and CEO of Queen of Raw. This award-winning company is turning deadstock pollution into profit through two major channels: 1) its proprietary inventory management software Materia MX, and 2) an integrated deadstock marketplace. Queen of Raw enables fashion companies to sell their excess inventory, while at the same time supporting sustainability compliance measurement and reporting. Stephanie is a member of Pledge 1% and a founding member of the New York Circular City Initiative. An advocate for women in business and sustainability, her companies have been featured in Good Morning America, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. In this episode we discuss: ●      Why deadstock clothing and textiles are often landfilled or incinerated ●      The $280b+ excess inventory sitting in warehouses worldwide ●      Why the fashion industry is the 2nd largest contributor to global water pollution Key Takeaways: ●      There is an incredible opportunity for new marketplaces to enable value creation by tapping into unused resources and capacity. These marketplaces allow supply to meet demand. This is what Airbnb does. This is what Uber and Lyft do. And, this is what Queen of Raw does. What makes Queen of Raw's marketplace stand out is the sustainability component at the heart of what it does. With their focus on unused textiles that would otherwise be burned or end up in landfill, the company is enabling a circular economy across the fashion industry by keeping resources in use longer. ●      The early success of Queen of Raw shows the power of a compelling vision that benefits all stakeholders. A key part of this success has been Queen of Raw's ability to bring in strategic partners—like SAP and UPS—by aligning on values and clearly adding value. ●      Currently, 1.1 billion people worldwide don't have access to clean water. The World Wildlife Fund has stated that by 2025 two-thirds of the world's population may face water shortages. That's in just 2 years. That statistic is shocking and hard to absorb when 70% of the world's surface is covered by water. Water seems abundant. The problem is, only 3% of global water is freshwater, and 66% of fresh water is unavailable to use (i.e. frozen in glaciers or otherwise inaccessible). That leaves just 1% of total water as fresh water that we can use. Currently, 70% of that freshwater is used in agriculture, and the amount of freshwater is declining. The fashion industry contributes to water scarcity in two major ways: 1) through agricultural products used to make textiles like cotton, wool, and leather—as well as any pesticide runoff that contaminates waterways; and 2) through pollution from toxins used in the textile production process—like fabric dyes—that contaminate waterways. Not contaminating what little freshwater we do have is incredibly important.

We speak with Stephanie Benedetto – the passionate, inspiring founder of the Queen of Raw. Queen of Raw is an online marketplace that matches buyers and sellers of unused fabric. Instead of allowing unused fabric to wind up as trash in landfills, Queen of Raw creates a marketplace so the fabrics find a useful life with designers, manufacturers, and consumers around the world. Consider these statistics to put into context the importance of Stephanie's work: *One tee shirt takes an average 700 gallons of water to produce *That same shirt uses another 700 gallons of water to wash it in its lifetime *The textile industry uses 26.4 trillion gallons of water every year *Fashion makes up 10 percent of the world's carbon emissions *Americans throw away up to 11.3 million tons of textile waste each year – more than 2,100 pieces of clothing each second Now consider the impact of Queen of Raw: Queen of Raw has already saved over one billion gallons of water while saving businesses millions of dollars. That's enough clean water for 1.43 million people around the world to drink for three years.

In this episode of #TheNewAbnormal I interview the incredibly dynamic Stephanie Benedetto.  A corporate attorney turned climate fintech entrepreneur, Stephanie is the Co-Founder of Queen of Raw, no-code enterprise software to intelligently resell and recycle unused inventory on Raw Chain, measure, report, and turn pollution into profit. Prior to starting Queen of Raw, Stephanie worked as a lawyer in the fashion, media/entertainment, start-up, and technology industries and co-founded a sustainable textile manufacturing facility.

On this episode of Transform Talks, Stephanie Benedetto, Founder and CEO at Queen of Raw joins host Maria Villablanca. From a family background with over 100 years in fashion and textiles, Stephanie saw the beauty and perils of the industry at an early age. Converting from a Wall Street lawyer, she founded Queen of Raw in 2018, turning pollution into profit.  Stephanie emphasizes the strong likelihood of not only saving but also making money through sustainability. Too often, companies get hung up on the notion that being sustainable means costing money. At Queen of Raw, the software and tools ease circularity. Plus, it offers quantitative analysis to understand where the waste comes from and how to minimize it going forward. As passionate about fashion as sustainability, Stephanie advocates blockchain technology. Imagine future supply chains where everything is on-demand, more local, personal, digital, and connected to the end consumer. Imagine QR codes on consumable goods that show the history of production; the water used, toxins created, carbon emissions, and the dollars saved. Listen to the episode now to learn more from Stephanie and hear more sustainability and fashion tech opportunities.  Resources: Queen of Raw Stephanie Benedetto contact info: +1 (646) 583-0076 stephanie@queenofraw.com Enterprise Software

When we think of the world of fashion, sustainability is one of the last words we'd associate with it.However, Queen of Raw wants to change that. Queen of Raw has built a software platform to help organisations discover, buy, and sell material that would otherwise go to landfill, or be burned. Given that around $120 billion of material is wasted annually, there's a huge potential for savings.I invited Stephanie Benedetto and Phil Derasmo, Queen of Raw's CEO and COO/CTO respectively (and the company co-founders) to come on the podcast to tell me how they're cleaning up fashion's supply chain.We had an excellent conversation and, as is often the case, I learned loads, I hope you do too...If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Most brands want to be more sustainable, but they also need to meet price targets and also create products that consumers want to buy.At the same, mills and manufacturers around the world are often sitting on mountains of dead stock - rolls of perfectly good fabric that is destined to be dumped into landfill.My guest today was able to successfully connect the dots between these two scenarios and create a platform that provides brands with a sustainable source of high quality fashion fabrics while giving manufacturers a way to turn unused stock into profits.Stephanie Benedetto is a sustainability super hero.  Her vision and relentless efforts to go from idea to a fully functioning service that benefits thousands of brands, retailers and consumers is making it possible for everyone to make a huge impact on sustainability, without sacrificing on fashion.From corporate attorney to tech startup entrepreneur, Stephanie has purpose built Queen of Raw, a platform that allows manufacturers to list dead stock and brands to easily purchase it - along with a dashboard that provides critical data such as the amount of water or energy being saved.Before we jump into our podcast, if you're struggling to get your sourcing forecast reports done - or you simply want a sharp, organised view of the market, then the Current Situation in Sourcing could be the answer to your prayers.

The fashion industry has a waste problem. In addition to being one of the worst polluters of our world's waters, this industry sends billions of dollars worth of unused textiles to landfill each year. Now, Stephanie Benedetto is doing something about it. Stephanie Benedetto is the founder of Queen of Raw, a marketplace to buy and sell sustainable and deadstock fabrics and textiles. By cataloguing and repurposing these fabrics that would otherwise go to landfill, Stephanie is creating a model of integrity and sustainability in the supply chain for the fashion industry and beyond.

“100% of the materials used in our back to school (mask-making) kits were …from deadstock (discarded) materials…to provide a sustainable mask alternative for kids in need to that they ….can keep their communities safe." Jennifer Lee on Green Connections Radio As we all adapt to the temporary normal of having to wear a mask to protect ourselves and others from the Covid-19 pandemic, Jennifer Lee came up with a creative eco-friendly way to make mask-wearing fun for kids and give masks to people of all ages in need.  Building this nonprofit is Jennifer’s side hustle; her day job is as a global technology manager in cosmetic giant L’Oreal’s incubator. . Listen to Jennifer describe to Green Connections Radio host Joan Michelson how she came up with the idea for United We Mask, who else is on board (including Fabscrap, a previous guest on this show), and how L’Oreal is responding. You'll hear: How she developed the idea for the mask-making kits and made it happen. What’s in them and how she’s making them eco-friendly. About their mask-making DIY workshops How she hopes the kids influence the adults in their lives to wear a mask. And….valuable career advice from this woman who used her education in biostatics and computational biology to land a great job at L’Oreal. “Decide how you want to make a difference and talk to people in that specialty and ask them what they need."

Many founders have a “corporate” mindset about PR. Somewhere, someone along the way, who doesn't know sh!t about startups or actually built one gave them a “playbook”. Unfortunately, that playbook typically involves expensive PR agencies, publicists, and a whole branding strategy that most startups can't afford. Here's the thing, I believe in PR. It's a great way to build brand awareness. However, most early-stage founders cannot compare themselves to the startups plastered on New York subway stations. You have an opportunity to go grass-roots and make an impact for FREE. The Queen of Raw, Stephanie Benedetto, is probably one fo the ILLEST founders I've seen when it comes to racking up Free PR. She has been featured in NPR, Good Morning America, The New York Times, Vogue, WWD, ELLE, Cheddar, Parade, WCBS, United Nations, Fortune, Entrepreneur, WIRED, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Fast Company. Here's what you'll learn from Stephanie: How to leverage a strategy you probably avoid or doubted yourself in that led her to pitching in front of Ashton Kutcher, Diddy, and Gary Vaynerchuck. How to quantify impact of brand awareness when it's not repeatable or scalable. How to choose your vehicle for getting your story out there She also gives you her phone number. YAS! Because she's truly here to support you on your scaling journey like the Queen she is!
