No Brasil, em 2023 cada cidadão descartou, em média, 21 quilos de têxteis, couros e borrachas por ano, segundo levantamento da S2F Partners, hub especializado em gestão de resíduos e economia circular. Na Europa, o cenário também é preocupante: de acordo com a Agência Europeia do Meio Ambiente, cada habitante da União Europeia gera cerca de 16 quilos de resíduos têxteis anualmente. Diante deste quadro, impulsionado pelo mercado fast fashion, iniciativas como a moda circular e o upcycling de tecidos ganham força para promover uma economia mais sustentável. O objetivo é reduzir o impacto ambiental do setor têxtil e promover práticas que valorizem a reutilização das peças e a responsabilidade ambiental. Somente na França, a Refashion, organização de gestão e prevenção de resíduos têxteis, calcula que os franceses joguem fora em média 700 mil toneladas de roupas todos os anos – e os números vem aumentando, estimulados pelo alto consumo a baixos custos, facilitado pelas compras online.  Novas formas de consumo e redução do lixo têxtil  Em Paris, a estilista franco-brasileira Márcia de Carvalho está por trás da Chaussettes Orphelines, associação que oferece uma segunda vida às meias e outras peças pelo reaproveitamento de fios. As peças rejeitadas são transformadas em fios para bordados e costura. Márcia destaca a importância de marcas, agências do governo, associações e instituições “comunicarem e criarem uma pedagogia em volta do desse assunto”, para alertar o consumidor final sobre o descarte de roupas e calçados.  “É super importante porque é uma mudança de comportamento. A gente tenta fazer isso comunicando através das coletas e explicando que tem outras formas de tratar o lixo, que começa já pela triagem", explica. "Não é apenas jogar fora, mas procurar lugares que vão transformar. É um primeiro gesto de para redução desse lixo têxtil. Outra coisa é a pedagogia do conserto, do reparo, de customizar a peça, que é um jeito bem legal de reduzir esse lixo”, defende a estilista. Em Paris, a Chaussettes Orphelines divulga oficinas para encorajar o conserto de roupas e a criatividade para transformar peças antigas ou com algum defeito. A iniciativa também já capacitou centenas de mulheres para o mercado de trabalho, desde 2008. Márcia enfatiza ainda a coletas de materiais que a associação realiza em empresas e que cofinanciam as iniciativas de upcycling.  Ressignificar os resíduos têxteis industriais   No Brasil, dados de 2023 indicam um descarte de 4,6 milhões de toneladas de lixo têxtil por ano pela população. Mas os números são mais impressionantes na indústria, que jogam fora cerca de 37 vezes mais, mesmo que o país tenha uma série de leis que regulamentam a reciclagem de resíduos industriais, salienta Ariane Santos, fundadora da empresa paranaense Badu Design, que atua no upcycling socioambiental.   “São mais de 170 milhões de toneladas de material residual por ano. Tem a regulamentação, mas não tem a fiscalização, então o número hoje de material residual industrial é bem maior. A gente fala que é só a ponta do iceberg. São materiais que devem durar mais de 500 anos no meio ambiente”, aponta Ariane.   O trabalho da Badu Design é dar uma nova vida aos resíduos industriais têxteis das empresas e também de gerar empregos, já tendo formado mais de 1,5 mil mulheres periféricas em design circular de transformação residual, no Paraná, Curitiba, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, e, em breve, em Minas Gerais.  “O que a gente faz hoje é oferecer para as indústrias um serviço que visa ressignificar esse material. Algumas empresas fornecem toneladas de materiais. Formamos mulheres em periferias e favelas para fazer toda uma produção de produtos que têm design mais contemporâneos e que venham agregar valor. Depois, essa empresa faz a recompra”, diz, à RFI.  Ariane Santos conta que a capacitação gera uma mudança econômica para as mulheres que estão na periferia e favela. “A gente também faz com que a indústria não veja [o descarte de resíduos têxteis] como mais uma ação social, mas sim como uma responsabilidade que ainda agrega valor para ela em dois pontos: na questão da imagem da empresa sobre riscos ambientais, evitando multas, mas também trazendo uma possibilidade de ser rentável”, esclarece.  As duas empresárias, com atuação no Brasil e na França, acreditam que a adaptação econômica por meio da transformação dos resíduos pode movimentar uma mudança cultural no setor têxtil, um dos setores da indústria que mais poluem o planeta. 

MacroCycle is pioneering a revolutionary approach to plastic and textile waste, transforming how companies address sustainability challenges while maintaining cost parity with traditional materials. With $7.6 million in funding raised, this upcycling platform has developed breakthrough technology that can process contaminated and colored waste materials that traditional recycling methods cannot handle. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Stwart Peña Feliz, Co-founder and CEO of MacroCycle, to explore how his team is creating high-quality recycled materials through an energy-efficient process that could reshape the entire recycling industry. Topics Discussed: MacroCycle's proprietary upcycling technology that combines damaged materials into high-quality products The shift from licensing technology to manufacturing products due to market demands for proven scale Strategic partnerships with food & beverage and fashion brands seeking recycled content The regulatory landscape driving mandatory recycled content requirements across Europe and US states Brand positioning challenges in sustainability versus profitability conversations The looming supply shortage: why there won't be enough recycled materials for the next decade Building founder brand recognition through distinctive visual identity and conference presence GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Pivot your business model based on customer feedback: Stwart initially planned to license MacroCycle's technology but discovered customers wouldn't adopt unproven technology at scale. Rather than forcing the original model, they shifted to manufacturing products directly, using a capital-light approach by renting existing petrochemical facilities. This pivot allowed them to prove their technology while generating revenue. B2B founders should remain flexible about their go-to-market approach and let customer readiness dictate strategy rather than forcing an idealized model. Position around regulatory compliance, not just benefits: While sustainability messaging resonates, Stwart found that regulatory pressure creates the strongest buying motivation. Upcoming EU and US state regulations will mandate minimum recycled content, creating penalties for non-compliance. Companies partnering early with MacroCycle gain supply chain advantages in a market facing a projected decade-long shortage of recycled materials. B2B founders should identify regulatory tailwinds in their industry and position their solution as compliance infrastructure rather than nice-to-have benefits. Achieve cost parity to eliminate buyer friction: Stwart learned that even environmentally conscious brands won't pay premium prices for sustainable solutions unless legally required. This insight drove MacroCycle's focus on reaching cost parity with traditional materials through their more efficient upcycling process. In commodity markets especially, B2B founders must match incumbent pricing to achieve adoption, using operational advantages rather than premium positioning to win market share. Underprice to accelerate fundraising momentum: Stwart used a counterintuitive fundraising strategy, deliberately undervaluing MacroCycle to generate multiple competing term sheets. Like pricing a $500K house at $400K to create bidding wars, this approach accelerated their fundraising timeline and ultimately achieved higher valuations through competition. B2B founders confident in their traction should consider strategic underpricing to create investor FOMO and compress fundraising cycles. Build distinctive founder brand in commodity spaces: Operating in recycling - a crowded commodity market - Stwart recognized the need for radical differentiation. He adopted a signature bright blue jacket for all conferences and presentations, creating instant recognition across continents. This visual branding became so effective that their lawyers suggested trademarking the color for recycling applications. B2B founders in commodity industries should invest heavily in memorable branding to stand out from undifferentiated competitors.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

A visionary agreement between Höegh Autoliners and green industry pioneer Nordic Circles launches a national project that will revolutionize the handling of decommissioned ships. Using Norwegian technology, labor, and industry, old ships will be upcycled in Norway into certified building materials - without melting, without export, and with up to 97% lower emissions to create green ship upcycling. Nordic Circles and Höegh Autoliners are announcing the agreement on the Blue Talks stage at Nor-Shipping, in front of maritime leaders from around the world, including high-profile speakers such as John Kerry and Andrew Forrest of Fortescue, underscoring the global significance of the initiative. Norwegian green ship upcycling adventure The project establishes a circular value chain in which decommissioned ships are repurposed as environmentally friendly building materials in Norway. The agreement covers up to eight ships from Höegh Autoliners, to complete the first upcycling in 2026. These eight ships alone could reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry by 100,000 tons of CO2. "We aim to be the greenest in deep-sea shipping and have set a net-zero target by 2040. That's why we're building the world's largest and most environmentally friendly car carriers and investing in making green ammonia a viable fuel already from 2027," says Sebjørn Dahl, COO of Höegh Autoliners. "With this agreement, we ensure sustainability from cradle to grave and lay the foundation for a new green industrial adventure in Norway. We are extremely proud of that." The agreement is worth NOK 1.3 billion. The first vessel is scheduled for decommissioning at AF Offshore Decom in Vats. Norway's Minister of Climate and Environment, Andreas Bjelland Eriksen, will comment on the agreement at the Maritime Bergen stand (C04-33) at Nor-Shipping on Wednesday 3 June from 11:15 to 12:00. There will be interview opportunities with Höegh Autoliners, Nordic Circle and the Minister. Norway as a green industrial leader in Europe Globally, the construction industry accounts for 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, with steel being one of the largest contributors. That's why the core of the project is simple: Steel should not be exported and melted down - it should be reused in Norway and Europe. Norwegian shipyards and the steel industry are being developed into a competitive alternative to Turkey, which currently holds the EU's only large-scale ship recycling capacity. The result is mass-produced steel with minimal emissions, under commercial terms. The project is already supported by the full range of Norwegian public funding instruments through the Green Platform initiative. The founders of Nordic Circles are behind the initiative and lead the consortium. AF Offshore Decom is the main contractor. Participants include leading companies from across the value chain, such as Statsbygg, the municipalities of Oslo and Bergen, Skanska, Green Yard, Equinor, DNB, and SINTEF. "This is circular economy at its best - managing to build a sustainable industry from what we used to export as hazardous waste to Asia. The eight ships will save society around 100,000 tons of CO2 and pave the way for mobilizing shipyards and shipping companies across Europe," says John Jacobsen, CEO of Nordic Circles and Oppsirk. Unlocking a global potential Norway has the fifth largest merchant fleet by value, and when including the EU's share, we see a market potential covering 45% of the world's merchant fleet. A doubling in decommissioning assignments is expected, driven by new climate regulations and an aging fleet. Along the Norwegian coast, the maritime industry has developed seven EU-approved shipyards capable of decommissioning and upcycling. Among them, AF Offshore Decom at Vats is considered the world's most environmentally friendly decommissioning facility. All Norwegian yards have additional capacity, and several are equipped to handle large vessels. This agreement is therefore the first ...

Laurel Orley is the founder and CEO of Daily Crunch Snacks and a mission-driven entrepreneur with a background in advertising. After more than a decade building major brands like Dove at Unilever, she transitioned to launch her own company focused on health, flavor, and impact.Daily Crunch Snacks is a women-owned snack brand offering sprouted, air-dried almonds and other nut blends with bold, innovative flavors. Rooted in a family recipe and a mission to support mental health, the brand emphasizes clean ingredients, sustainability, and crave-worthy crunch.Laurel launched Daily Crunch with her aunt Diane, who developed the unique sprouting process after studying brain health in India.The brand debuted in March 2020—days before the COVID-19 shutdown—and adapted its launch strategy for a digital-first world.Daily Crunch has since expanded into 6,000+ stores and was named the 13th fastest-growing food and beverage company by Inc.Laurel is a board member of the Upcycled Food Association and a member of EY's Entrepreneurial Winning Women Class of 2024.The brand's mental health mission is personal: Laurel's cousin lost his life to bipolar disorder, inspiring her family to create The Support Network, which Daily Crunch supports financially and publicly.Laurel's experience on Dove's Real Beauty campaign taught her the power of mission-driven marketing and authenticity.The sprouting process transforms the texture of almonds, making them crisp and chip-like while improving digestibility.Product innovation stems from a blend of trend reports, consumer feedback, and Laurel's own flavor instincts—like turmeric & sea salt or Nashville Hot.Collaborations, like their Fly By Jing partnership, are a strategic focus for driving awareness and reaching new audiences.Upcycling ingredients—such as pickle ends from Cleveland Kitchen—helps reduce waste and differentiate flavor profiles.Daily Crunch doesn't lead with its mission, but invites consumers to discover its mental health advocacy as they dig deeper into the brand.  QUOTES “I wanted to launch a brand with a mission that I believed in. Our mission is actually mental health awareness.” (Laurel)“Soaking nuts removes phytic acid, an anti-nutrient, making them more bioavailable, easier to digest and more nutrient dense.” (Laurel)“The crunch is what gets people in. It's lighter, airier, crunchier. Honestly, it's like a chip.” (Laurel)“You're always going to have setbacks. My motto is always two steps forward, one step back.” (Laurel)“We had to throw out 20,000 pounds of almonds and I didn't have the right insurance for it. I almost threw in the towel.” (Laurel)“There's a fine balance between mental and physical health. It all ladders back up to brain health.” (Laurel)“When you see someone in the wild buying your product, it's the best feeling. I was hiding behind a pillar at the airport.” (Laurel)“The savory-sweet combo is really resonating right now. Our last two launches were savory, but you can definitely do both.” (Laurel)

A student entrepreneur saving 1,000kg of e-waste every year building his own gaming PCs was the winner of the Student Enterprise of the Year winning the senior category at the awards that took place in Mullingar. Jack Cannon, a senior student at Clonkeen College in Dun Laoghaire, built his first PC at the age of 11 with the help of his brother. He set up Cannon PC at part of the Local Enterprise Offices' Student Enterprise Programme and so far, has achieved sales of almost €40,000. Cannon builds upcycled high speed gaming PCs from old PCs being disposed of in office clear outs and for general sale online. Upcycling project wins student enterprise award There were also top awards handed out in the Intermediate and Junior categories. Suet & Song, a business set up by Michael O'Keeffe from St. Kieran's College in Kilkenny, creates high-quality, nutrient rich suet cakes for birds during the colder months and it took home the top prize in the Intermediate Category. In the Junior category a device that helps hikers and farmers cross electric fencing easily won the top award. Bumblebees is a business set up by Antonia O'Looney, Sophie Gilard, Guiliana Keane and Katelyn Murtagh from Drumshanbo Vocational School in Leitrim. Their WASP (Wire Anti Shock Protector) product is a device that enables people to push down the electric fence without receiving a shock, enabling them to cross safely. The inaugural Student Enterprise Programme Alumni Award was presented to Fenu Health. Set up by sisters Kate and Annie Madden for the Student Enterprise Programme in 2016, the company creates supplements for equine health and their customers include five royal families. The 23rd Student Enterprise Programme National Finals saw 85 businesses from across the country shortlisted in three main categories. The Local Enterprise Office initiative, supported by Enterprise Ireland and local authorities, commenced last September in secondary schools nationwide with over 30,000 students taking part this year. The event was hosted by broadcasters Rick O'Shea and Louise Cantillon and they were joined during the ceremony by Peter Burke, T.D. Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Employment as they announced the winners across the three main categories on the day. The initiative, funded by the Government of Ireland through Enterprise Ireland and delivered by the 31 Local Enterprise Offices in local authorities throughout the country, has seen over 450,000 take part in the programme since it began 23 years ago. Gareth Evans, Chair of the Local Enterprise Office's Enterprise Education Committee, said; "It's been another hugely successful year for the Student Enterprise Programme. Last year we had over 30,000 participants and we will hit that again this year. So, the appetite for student entrepreneurs is growing and that is no doubt down to seeing the amazing young entrepreneurs this country is producing. We've had some excellent winners here today and going on previous successes they will go on to do great things. A great example today was our Alumni Winner, Fenu Health, who are now an outstanding Irish business trading internationally. Today is just the start for these winners and finalists. The skills and lessons they have learned through the process will stand by them for life and we're excited to see where their businesses go from here and the new ones they start-up in the future." The National Final students, who competed across Junior, Intermediate and Senior categories were challenged with creating, setting up and running their own business, which must show sales of their service or product. The judging panel included business owners and representatives from enterprise agencies and associated bodies. The Student Enterprise Programme is open to students of all ages at secondary level, with three separate categories - Junior (1st year), Intermediate (2nd and 3rd year) and Senior (4th, 5th and 6th year, LVA, LCA and Youth Outreach). The Student Enterprise of the Y...

Many of us know Goodwill Industries International as a retailer that accepts and resells donated goods. What the average consumer may not know is that the nonprofit takes in over 5 billion pounds of goods each year — and not all of it can be resold. For those unwanted or unviable items, the organization can either look into recycling or upcycling, and with the help of AI, it's able to efficiently make that determination while also improving its process for sorting and allocating sellable goods for different retail channels. Additionally, Goodwill helps its workforce with career-development skills. Much of this training has been enhanced with AI. Tune in to this episode to hear directly from Goodwill CEO Steve Preston about how the organization is using technology to fulfill a mission that extends beyond the retail store. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: As president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International, Steven C. Preston leads a network of 153 local Goodwill organizations with a combined revenue of $8.2 billion. In addition to being a secondhand retail leader, Goodwill is a leading nonprofit provider of workforce training and development in North America. Positioning the organization at the forefront of workforce development has been a top focus for Preston since he joined Goodwill in 2019. He has also forged partnerships with organizations focused on sustainable practices in the secondhand retail marketplace and developed mission-focused marketing efforts to elevate the Goodwill brand. Previously, Preston served in numerous operational and financial leadership positions in both the public and private sectors. After heading the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Small Business Administration, he led successful turnarounds as the CEO of Oakleaf Global Holdings and Livingston International. He also served as the CFO of Waste Management and ServiceMaster.

For years the food tech space has been rife with companies eager to replace familiar standbys– from protein to sweeteners to colorings– with cheaper, more healthful, or more climate friendly alternatives. There have certainly been a few successes, but there have also been some big and spectacular failures.

Homegrown businesses in Africa are developing a new industry to tackle the environmental damage created by fast fashion. Upcycling, where poor-quality, discarded clothes are made into desirable products, is becoming more widespread in countries like Kenya, supported by the social enterprise group Africa Collect Textiles. Here workers are earning an income and forging a sustainable industry. African countries like Kenya often bear the brunt of fast fashion waste. The group Clean Up Kenya says the country imports around 200,000 tons of used textiles each year. Africa Collect Textiles (ACT), which operates in Nigeria as well as Kenya, says the problem is that many developing countries lack the infrastructure to dispose of textile waste in an environmentally friendly way. ACT focuses on processing textile waste. It's set up collection bins in high-traffic areas like malls and universities where people can easily dispose of old clothes. These are collected, and in the workshop, they're sorted according to their quality and wearability. ACT's Natalie Naina says, "Since our goal is to extend fabric life, we have created a reseller program outside Nairobi where these clothes can still go ahead in circularity by vendors who would want cheaper options of bales (referring to bundles of clothes) rather than the more expensive ones in Gikomba (one of Kenya's largest clothes markets). Then for our non-wearables, we have repurposed them through upcycling. Upcycling involves getting a cloth that is worn out and then transforming it into a better product where it can survive for longer." Naina says even donated clothes often end up in landfills and that's what the organization is trying to avoid. On its website, Africa Collect Textiles claims that since it was set up in 2020 it has collected nearly 200,000 kilograms of clothes, saved 1,200 tons of carbon and created 200 jobs for local people.

Repurposing & Upcycling for Preppers | Episode 351 In a world where waste is abundant and resources can be scarce, learning how to repurpose and upcycle everyday items is a vital skill for preppers. Not only does it save money, but it also enhances self-sufficiency and sustainability. In this episode, we'll explore creative ways to repurpose common household items for survival, homesteading, and emergency preparedness. Why Repurposing Matters Repurposing isn't just about saving money—it's about making the most of what you have and reducing waste. In a survival scenario, the ability to adapt and innovate using limited resources can mean the difference between comfort and hardship. By upcycling, you give new life to old materials while keeping them out of landfills. Household Items with New Uses Glass Jars – Use them for food storage, DIY oil lamps, or fermenting vegetables. Plastic Bottles – Turn them into water filters, seed starters, or emergency water storage. Tin Cans – Create camp stoves, candle holders, or small storage containers. Old Clothes & Fabric – Repurpose for insulation, rags, or even patching gear. DIY Fire Starters Creating homemade fire starters is easy and ensures you always have a reliable way to make fire. Some simple and effective methods include: Dryer lint and wax-stuffed egg cartons Cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly Sawdust mixed with melted wax Upcycled Water Storage & Filtration Instead of throwing away old food-grade containers, repurpose them into emergency water storage. Use 2-liter soda bottles for water purification systems or build a rainwater collection system using barrels. Homemade Tools & Gear Preppers are known for their ingenuity. With some creativity, you can make survival tools from scrap materials: Paracord belts – Woven belts or bracelets for emergency cordage. DIY fishing kit – Use soda can tabs as fishing hooks. Homemade knives – Repurpose old saw blades into knives or tools. Garden & Compost Hacks Gardening is a cornerstone of self-sufficiency, and repurposing materials can make it even more cost-effective: Turn plastic tubs into self-watering planters. Use eggshells and coffee grounds as natural fertilizers. Convert old tires into raised garden beds. Repurposing Old Electronics Even broken electronics have valuable parts: Salvage batteries and wiring for DIY solar setups. Turn an old car alternator into a small wind turbine. Use old laptops for emergency communication setups. Creative DIY Lighting If the grid goes down, lighting is essential. Some creative upcycling ideas include: Mason jar solar lights. Oil lamps using cooking oil and a wick. Repurposing broken flashlights into LED lanterns. Final Thoughts Repurposing and upcycling is more than just a frugal practice—it's a mindset that helps preppers stay resilient and resourceful. With a little creativity, everyday items can serve multiple purposes, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Tune in to Episode 351 for a deep dive into these DIY survival skills!

Upcycle: “The act of taking something no longer useful to you and giving it a second life and new function so that the finished product becomes more practical, valuable, and beautiful than it was.”  Like turning wooden pallets into patio furniture, leaving a boring job for a new challenge, or saving your kitchen scraps to make beautiful compost.

Meet Garik Himebaugh, the founder of Eco-Stylist.com, a site dedicated to promoting sustainable fashion choices. Garik's journey into the world of sustainable fashion began with a background in peace studies and an MBA, and he discovered social entrepreneurship as a grad student and launched Eco-Stylist in 2018. There, he helps consumers make informed, sustainable fashion choices with a directory of brands that meet his criteria for ethical production and environmental responsibility.encouraging individuals to "dress like you give a damn." He was kind enough to contribute a recent article on Earth911, How to Build the Sustainable Wardrobe of Your Dreams. He points to how the fast fashion crisis is burying some countries in the global south in synthetic trash that can take decades or centuries to breakdown into potentially toxic plastic byproducts. Garik joined the Sustainability In Your Ear conversation to discuss how to check the sustainability claims made by clothing companies, the power of reuse and upcycling as a way to reduce your personal environmental impact, and his favorite responsible fashion brands, including Adelante, Outerknown, Naadam, and Patagonia.Fast fashion is a plague on the planet and your wallet. Fast fashion is responsible for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions and nearly 20% of wastewater production, according to the World Economic Forum. The World Resources Institute reports that producing just one cotton shirt uses approximately 713 gallons of water — that's enough water to meet one person's drinking needs for over two years. But, hey, you get a $10 shirt instead. The fast fashion industry is so destructive that the U.S. Government Accounting Office wrote in December 2024 that the nation needs a coordinated effort to reduce textile waste and promote recycling. But we can dress for success and the planet. Garik explains that the brands he admires “take responsibility for their clothes” by making them with organic and sustainable materials, providing repairs and take-back programs, as well as delivering durable products that can be made to last.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Jon Goriup, Co-Founder and CEO of VCG AI, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way industries think about waste and sustainability. Jon and his team are pioneering an innovative approach to transforming industrial byproducts into valuable resources, helping companies cut emissions and uncover new revenue streams in the process.We delve into the mechanics of circular value chains, where waste becomes an asset rather than a liability. Jon explains how VCG AI uses cutting-edge data analytics and AI to map material flows, evaluate waste streams, and recommend optimal upcycling processes—saving companies time and resources while delivering tangible economic and environmental benefits.Some of the key highlights include:The shift in mindset as companies realise the economic potential of waste and embrace circular supply chains.Real-world examples, such as transforming spent grains and yeast from breweries into high-value food ingredients.How AI accelerates decision-making and implementation, allowing firms to move from analysis to action quickly and effectively.The challenges companies face, from navigating complex regulations to addressing non-core business activities, and how these can be mitigated.The role of collaboration across supply chains and how VCG AI is enabling large-scale circular transformations, even at the regional level.Jon also shares how industries and governments can work together to accelerate this transition, the KPIs that matter most, and the broader implications for sustainability globally.If you're curious about how technology is reshaping sustainability or looking to gain practical insights iElevate 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.

On today's show, we're chatting with Anne and Nashalae. Anne Whiting is an upcycled fashion designer, sustainable fashion activist, and writer. She is also a longtime volunteer and mentor for young people with Free Arts NYC, an organization that provides arts programming for youth – including arts internship placements.  Through Free Arts NYC and her upcycled brand, Anne James New York, Anne has worked with several high school and college-aged interns teaching them about the pillars of sustainable fashion and upcycling. She loves helping her interns create their own capsule collections using NYC secondhand shops like Goodwill and BigReuse as their source materials.  So, she reached out to do an episode with one of her former interns, Nashalae Martin, and suggested we could chat about how Gen-Z and the next generations learn about sustainable fashion. Nashalae is a recent graduate of FIT, and has held several fashion-related internships, including with Anne and Anne James New York. I loved hearing how she thinks about thrifting, where she learned about sustainable fashion in the first place, and how she thinks we need to expand the definition of sustainable fashion education.  This is such an interesting chat about how this movement connects with younger audiences  – so, let's dive right into it! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [4:01] While Anne grew up during the fast fashion boom, she also loved thrifting with her grandmother.  [7:57] Nashalae found an eventual love of fashion design through a love of art. [10:38] Anne works with Free Arts NYC, an organization that provides arts programming for youth – including arts internship placements.  [20:23] How young people like Nashalae get their sustainable fashion education. [23:48] The two truths that young people love to thrift and they also love fast fashion. [27:18] Expanding the idea of sustainable fashion education. [35:33] Personal style and favorite pre-loved pieces.
