In meinem Interview mit Magnus Trinkwalder sprechen wir über die Textilproduktion in Deutschland, über Haltung und über gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen.Magnus ist die zweite Generation der letzten Textilmanufaktur Augsburgs: MANOMAMA. Dabei hat er als Junge davon geträumt, Physiker zu werden. Dann dachte er daran, Koch zu sein oder Eishockey-Profi zu werden. Irgendwann beschließt er, in das Familienunternehmen einzusteigen, obwohl ihn seine Mutter davon abhalten wollte. Nach der Schule beginnt er mit einer Ausbildung im Unternehmen und weiß nach sechs Monaten: Das will ich!Die Eltern von Magnus gründeten vor rund dreißig Jahren eine Werbeagentur, die erfolgreich läuft. Bis seine Mutter beschließt, einen anderen Weg einzuschlagen. Sie gründen ein Unternehmen, das einen Sinn hat und beginnen, Textilien zu entwerfen, in Augsburg zu produzieren. Sie stellen Menschen ein, die einen Weg in den Arbeitsmarkt suchen und bauen eine nachhaltige Wertschöpfungskette auf, die auf Regionalität setzt. Von einfachen Produkten wie Unterwäsche und Stofftieren entwickeln sie ihr Portfolio weiter zu Taschen, Jeans, Hemden und T-Shirts.Magnus engagiert sich auch politisch und zeigt Haltung. Er entwickelt ein Bild mit klarer Aussage „FCKAVD" und stellt es als neue Jeans auf Social Media online. Der Beitrag geht viral und nach kurzer Zeit ist aus dem Bild ein neues Produkt geworden, das bereits in vielen hundert Exemplaren vorbestellt wurde.Wir sprechen über Herausforderungen, Trends, über MANOMAMA und das, was ein Produkt der Marke ausmacht. Außerdem erzählt er, wie das Unternehmen Nachhaltigkeit lebt – zum Beispiel mit Upcycling von Kleidungsstücken und alten LKW-Planen – und was Erfolg für ihn bedeutet. Und dann sprechen wir noch über Haltung, Generationen und was ihm als Unternehmer und Mensch am Herzen liegt.Willst du mehr über Magnus und seine Arbeit erfahren?

LIVE! Quello che ascolterai oggi non è solo un caso di successo.È un processo, ancora aperto.E dentro questo processo ci sono alcune cose molto concrete:– cosa c'è dietro un brand di moda più sostenibile– tre errori da non fare se stai costruendo un brand– come affrontare limiti e compromessi senza perdere coerenza– e la domanda che, prima o poi, ogni designer dovrebbe farsi prima di iniziare. La sostenibilità, quando è reale, non è lineare.È fatta di compromessi.Di limiti.Di scelte che hanno un costo — economico, creativo, personale.Simona Luparello e Alessia Boselini, responsabili del brand Eyelet Milano, hanno scelto di parlarne.Non solo di quello che funziona, ma anche di quello che non va.I punti in cui il sistema si inceppa.E i momenti in cui la domanda è stata: così possiamo davvero reggere?Nel corrispondente articolo puoi vedere le foto dell'intervista:https://dress-ecode.com/vulnerabilita-e-scelte-cosa-significa-davvero-costruire-un-brand-piu-responsabile-eyelet-milano/Voce: Arianna De Biasi, Simona Luparello, Alessia Boselini.Musica: Quiet flight, Paul Yudin, Upbeat License code: LITDGBJNGCKWGHWZ; Looming, Yeti Music, Upbeat License code: VHIOVQXYRKILMJCSFoto: courtesy of Eyelet Milano

Weniger ist mehr – Nachhaltig Wohnen mit modularen MöbelnWas brauchen wir wirklich, um gut zu wohnen? In dieser Folge der Sonderreihe „Nachhaltig Wohnen" von Green Voices spricht Nike mit Julia Haneke, Gründerin des Berliner Möbelunternehmens Stocubo, über Minimalismus, modulares Wohnen und bewussten Konsum.Julia erklärt, warum flexible, modulare Möbel nicht nur praktisch, sondern zutiefst nachhaltig sind: Sie wachsen mit dem Leben mit, von der ersten Studentinnenwohnung bis zur wachsenden Familie, und ersetzen den ständigen Neukauf durch kluge Erweiterbarkeit. Bei Stocubo werden diese Möbel aus FSC-zertifiziertem MDF lokal in Berlin handgefertigt, das Holz stammt aus nachhaltiger Forstwirtschaft in Nordrhein-Westfalen, und jedes Jahr werden tausende Bäume für Wiederaufforstungsprojekte in Brandenburg und im Harz neu gepflanzt.Im Gespräch geht es darum, worauf man beim Kauf nachhaltiger Möbel achten sollte, warum kurze Lieferwege und regionale Produktion so entscheidend sind, wie stocubo durch konsequente Auftragsproduktion überflüssige Lagerbestände und Verschnitt vermeidet, und wie das modulare System Reparatur und Upcycling ganz einfach macht, ohne das ganze Möbelstück entsorgen zu müssen.Eine Folge für alle, die verstehen wollen, wie nachhaltige Möbel wirklich entstehen und wie man sie ein Leben lang gut behandelt.Diese Sonderfolge von Green Voices ist mit freundlicher Unterstützung der IKEA-Stiftung entstanden. Green Voices ist der Podcast von Studio36 für nachhaltiges Leben, gesellschaftlichen Wandel und starke Ideen.Alle News & Infos zum Podcast: Website Studio36: https://studio36.berlin/podcasts/green-voices/Instagram Studio36: https://www.instagram.com/studio36.berlin/LinkedIN Studio36: https://de.linkedin.com/company/studio36berlinInstagram Nike Wessel: https://www.instagram.com/nike_wessel/ Stocubo Website: https://www.stocubo.de/de/Stocubo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stocubo/LinkedIn Julia Haneke: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-haneke-25224b69/Danke, dass du bei dieser Folge zugehört hast!Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr den Podcast teilt und uns eine Bewertung gebt.

Wie viel Perfektion verträgt ein Fahrrad? Florian Hipp haucht alten Drahteseln in seiner Werkstatt neues Leben ein. Mit viel Geduld, Liebe zum Detail und nur einem einzigen Gang. In dieser Folge des Allgäu Podcasts trifft Erika Dürr einen Mann, der die Entschleunigung im Handwerk perfektioniert hat. Florian Hipp restauriert in seiner Werkstatt „Starrgang“ alte Fahrräder – und zwar mit einem radikalen Anspruch. Statt modernem Schnickschnack setzt er auf Purismus: Seine Räder haben meist nur einen Gang, dafür aber 100 % Seele. Vom verrosteten Dachbodenfund zum glänzenden Unikat – Florian erklärt, warum er manchmal 80 Stunden in ein Projekt investiert, obwohl er nur die Hälfte berechnet, und warum das Allgäu der perfekte Ort für seine kreative „Sammelwut“ ist. Er spricht über: Den Reiz der Reduktion und warum weniger Gänge manchmal mehr Fahrspaß bedeuten. Die Grenze zwischen Handwerk und Perfektionismus, die Florian regelmäßig neu auslotet. Die Verbindung zwischen seiner Arbeit in der Gastronomie und dem Glück, anderen Menschen eine Freude zu machen. Sein Herzensprojekt: Das Fahrrad seiner Uroma, das seit Jahren auf die finale Rettung wartet. Eine Episode über die Schönheit des Bewahrens, die Geduld beim Schrauben und die Inspiration, die man nur findet, wenn man – wie Florian – öfter mal den Blick in die Natur schweifen lässt. „It´s not just a bike, it´s cultural heritage”, sagt Florian und upcycelt Räder mit viel Liebe zum Detail.

Anna Foster is the founder and creative director of the sustainable fashion brand ELV Denim – a company that has saved thousands of pairs of jeans from going into landfill, upcycling them into something genuinely desirable instead. She started her career in magazines and worked as a fashion editor for 20 years at titles such as Exit and i-D, before becoming fashion director at Lula and fashion director-at-large at Australian title RUSSH. Since launching ELV – short for East London Vintage – in 2018 she was won a slew of awards, nominations and accolades, including Responsible Brand of The Year from Country & Town House and Walpole's Brands of Tomorrow 2025. In this episode, she talks about: why women are born to innovate; what happens to our old clothes; reworking existing garments into something new; finding all her makers within a three mile radius of the studio; celebrating skill; the issues with denim and how ELV strives to solve them; valuing things other people don't want; her dislike of stretch denim; being an ‘environmental enthusiast'; extending her material palette and making pieces from old hotel linen; the importance of collaboration; and the meaning of the word luxury. Important fact check: Grant misread some of his statistics in this episode. We produce between 4.5 to 6 billion pairs of jeans a year and a pair of jeans uses 3,800 litres of water to produce. We're happy to correct these errors. Support the show

Today, we're chatting with Dana Andrews — the creator and maker behind Sunworn Vintage, an upcycled clothing and accessory brand, built on the art of reuse and reimagination. Dana grew up on the Central Coast of California in Santa Maria where she fell in love with fashion early, raiding her older sisters' closets and getting voted best dressed in high school. She learned to sew in a clothing and fashion elective she took all four years of high school, and she loved it so much she'd stay in the classroom through lunch just to keep working. Always creative with a couple of side hustles, Dana found her way back to sewing amidst the pandemic. She bought a pre-loved sewing machine of KSL, and Sunworn Vintage was born. Now, it's her full-time dream job. She creates one-of-a-kind pieces from vintage and thrifted textiles, offers custom orders, runs monthly website restocks, and has stepped into something she never expected: designing digital sewing patterns so others can make their own Sunworn creations at home. Her first pattern was for a bag made entirely from neckties —and we get into the whole story on today's show. This one is truly for the makers, the thrifters, and everyone who's ever looked at a pile of men's ties at Goodwill and thought — wait, what if? And keep your eyes peeled, because Sunworn's next pattern is coming very soon – sneak peek on today's show. Let's dive in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [5:57] How Dana got into thrifting as a teen. [9:26] Her love of estates sales — and why she'd go even if she found nothing [11:25] Learning to sew in high school [18:27] How Dana found her way back to sewing amidst the pandemic when she bought a secondhand sewing machine. [22:24] The early days of the upcycling business, and how it has changed in the last six years. [27:35] She never expected to be designing digital sewing patterns for others to create at home. [29:28] The thrift store inspired the idea of the Tie Bag [37:48] The response to the Tie Bag pattern — and how passive income changed her business [39:54] Working on her second digital pattern [45:46] Pitching Sunworn Vintage to Mildew Magazine [51:57] Dana's personal style and holy grail thrift finds EPISODE MENTIONS:  Sunworn Vintage @sunwornvintage Jess - digital sewing patterns course Mildew Magazine @mildewmag Alyssa Vallejos, photographer Ship Rock Santa Fe LET'S CONNECT: 

Consommer tout et n'importe quoi, de façon compulsive, cela fait qu'on accumule dans nos foyers beaucoup de choses : vêtements jamais portés ou usés, déchets électroniques en pagaille, lunettes plus à notre vue, des jouets par milliers, etc. Bref, parfois il est bon de faire un petit ménage de printemps et de vider ses placards. Mais comment déstocker ? Par quoi on commence ?

Você sabia que o Brasil, maior produtor de café do mundo, muitas vezes consome o 'refugo' do que é exportado? Neste episódio imperdível, mergulhamos na revolução do café especial em sachê sustentável com Paula Veloso, fundadora da Cafellow. Prepare-se para desmistificar o que você sabe sobre a bebida mais amada do país e descobrir como a inovação pode transformar um hábito tão enraizado, combatendo o café de baixa qualidade e o impacto ambiental das cápsulas tradicionais.Com uma herança familiar de três gerações no café, Paula compartilha sua jornada, desde as fazendas do Cerrado Mineiro até a criação da Cafellow, uma marca que desafia o status quo. Ela revela a diferença entre café commodity e o verdadeiro **café especial**, explicando as categorias e a importância da rastreabilidade e pontuação dos grãos (como a peneira 16 acima). Exploramos o método de infusão inovador dos sachês de fibra de milho 100% compostáveis, uma alternativa prática e ecológica às cápsulas de alumínio.

Consommer tout et n'importe quoi, de façon compulsive, cela fait qu'on accumule dans nos foyers beaucoup de choses : vêtements jamais portés ou usés, déchets électroniques en pagaille, lunettes plus à notre vue, des jouets par milliers, etc. Bref, parfois il est bon de faire un petit ménage de printemps et de vider ses placards. Mais comment déstocker ? Par quoi on commence ?

 From Trash to Treasure: The Art of Conscious Living Through Recycling, Reusing & Kitchen Garden MagicJoin us on a transformative journey that proves sustainability isn't just about saving the planet—it's about reconnecting with the natural cycles of life right in your own home. In this enlightening episode, we explore the profound practice of giving new life to what others discard, turning everyday "waste" into abundance.Discover the Magic of Kitchen Scrap GardeningEver thrown away the end of a green onion, the base of celery, or the top of a carrot? What if we told you these "scraps" hold the power to become thriving plants on your windowsill or in your garden? We'll guide you through simple, accessible techniques for regrowing vegetables from parts you'd normally toss—including lettuce hearts, herb stems, potato eyes, ginger root, garlic cloves, and so much more. No fancy equipment needed, just water, soil, sunlight, and a little patience.You'll learn which vegetables regrow fastest (hello, green onions in just days!), which ones provide the most rewarding harvests, and the meditative joy of watching life regenerate from what seemed "finished." This practice isn't just practical—it's a daily reminder that nothing is truly waste, everything has potential, and nature's generosity is limitless when we pay attention.The Deeper Practice of Reuse & RecycleBut this episode goes beyond gardening tips. We explore the spiritual dimension of conscious consumption—how the act of reusing and recycling becomes a meditation on abundance versus scarcity, gratitude versus entitlement, and our intimate relationship with the Earth. When we choose to repair rather than replace, to repurpose rather than discard, we're making a statement about our values and our place in the web of life.We'll share creative ideas for transforming household items into new treasures: glass jars becoming planters or storage, old fabrics finding new purpose, composting as a sacred return to the soil, and the revolutionary act of simply buying less while appreciating more.A Barefoot Approach to Environmental StewardshipThis is sustainability stripped of guilt and preachiness—just practical wisdom, inspiring stories, and the gentle reminder that small, consistent actions create profound change. Whether you're a seasoned eco-warrior or just beginning to question your relationship with consumption, this episode offers accessible pathways to living more lightly on the Earth while growing more abundance in your life.Perfect for anyone who wants to reduce their environmental footprint, save money, reconnect with natural cycles, or simply experience the quiet miracle of watching a carrot top sprout new green life in a dish of water on their kitchen counter.Join us for this grounded, inspiring conversation that proves enlightenment isn't just about meditation cushions and mountaintops—it's also about dirt under your fingernails and the joy of creating something from "nothing."Would you like me to adjust the tone, length, or focus of this description?

This week on The Lexy Show, we're sitting down with the founder of Nostalgic Nooks, a Brooklyn-based creative venture transforming vintage electronics into cozy, one‑of‑a‑kind pet furniture. What started as a personal creative project—upcycling discarded radios and TVs into elegant pet beds—has grown into a beloved boutique that marries nostalgia, craftsmanship, and sustainability.  In our conversation, we explore how the brand was born at the intersection of retro charm and pure ingenuity, why preserving original vintage character matters, and how a playful idea became a thriving creative business. We dig into the tactile joy of breathing new life into forgotten objects and what it's like to build a community around something as whimsical and meaningful as pet furniture built from relics of the past.  We also discuss the emotional and environmental value of upcycling and how Nostalgic Nooks offers a new perspective on sustainable creative work—reminding us that the stories embedded in objects can live on in beautiful, functional ways. Whether you're a fan of vintage design, curious about sustainable creativity, or simply love hearing inspiring maker stories, this episode is a must‑listen.Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts heart, humor, and handmade magic.#TheLexyShow #NostalgicNooks #Upcycling #SustainableDesign #CreativeEntrepreneurs

Alors cette année, qu'est-ce que vous donnez comme objectif pour limiter votre impact sur la planète ?Mais pour ceux qui auraient l'intention de s'y mettre ou un début de motivation, voici quelques rappels et conseils que je vous laisse méditer en ce début d'année.Vous trouverez dans cet épisode les sujets abordés l'année dernière et les grandes conclusions des épisodes de 2025.

In this episode, Bard MBA student Sarah Bergman interviews Carrie Ellen Phillips, Partner at BPCM and sustainability policy advocate, and Erin Beatty, founder of Rentrayage, about the evolving landscape of sustainable fashion. They discuss how global disruptions are revealing which companies are truly committed to change, the promise of European textile circularity legislation, and why upcycling and dead stock sourcing are becoming easier to scale. Together, they make the case that sustainable fashion is becoming an inevitability, driven by falling costs and a younger generation demanding better.

Episode Summary A rice field does not look like the starting point for a scalable building materials company until you understand the economics behind it.   In this episode of Business For Good, Paul Shapiro sits down with Chris Guillmond, Founder and CEO of Modern Mill, to explore how discarded rice hulls are being transformed into ACRE, a wood like siding, decking, and trim product designed to replace old growth lumber. Chris explains why deforestation is a supply and demand problem, how Modern Mill cracked the manufacturing and adoption challenges that derail most composites, and what it takes to raise significant capital to build real infrastructure in the United States. The conversation covers circular economy manufacturing, competing with billion dollar incumbents, and why climate solutions scale only when they outperform existing systems on cost, durability, and ease of use.   Things You Will Learn Why most sustainable materials fail at adoption and how to avoid that trap How supply chain location determines whether upcycling works economically What it takes to scale a hard tech manufacturing business in a legacy industry   Tools and Frameworks Covered Supply chain proximity strategy to control logistics costs and reliability Adoption first product design for builders and contractors Capacity planning to scale manufacturing without breaking trust   Episode Timestamps 05:10 – Why rice hulls present a hidden opportunity in building materials 08:56 – Cracking the code on turning agricultural waste into scalable products 13:20 – Why most composites fail to replace wood 25:20 – How logistics and location shape upcycling economics 35:10 – Scaling capacity before demand fully arrives   #BusinessForGood #SustainableBusiness #CircularEconomy #ClimateSolutions #FutureOfFood

Silvia Zanelli"Deleuze con Peirce"Un equivoco impossibileOrthotes Editricewww.orthotes.comDeleuze, con tutta probabilità, non lesse mai direttamente la sconfinata opera di Peirce ed ebbe accesso solo ad un “Peirce di seconda mano”, attraverso le antologie di Gérard Deledalle. Proporre di lavorare all'intersezione fra Deleuze e Peirce non può che configurarsi dunque come un equivoco, e nella fattispecie come un equivoco ermeneutico. Se quello tra Deleuze e Peirce è in linea di principio un incontro impossibile, è proprio a partire da questa radicale discontinuità che ci sarà occasione di evidenziare delle soglie di continuità. A nostro modo di vedere Deleuze non dispone di una semiotica di stampo peirceano. Porremo dunque sullo sfondo quello che Deleuze ha scritto su Peirce nei suoi testi sul cinema per attualizzare invece ciò che in riferimento a Peirce è rimasto impensato nella penna di Deleuze. Ci avventureremo così nella “libreria concettuale” del non pensato deleuziano per riattivarne alcuni nodi problematici, nell'alleanza con Peirce. Il tentativo è quello di tenere insieme l'aspirazione cosmologica con cui entrambi guardano al reale, nonché una nuova immagine del pensiero, che vive nel rapporto mutuale fra virtualità e attualità, ovvero fra generalità ed individuazione. Il testo è un gioco concettuale che senza prendere troppo sul serio cosa Deleuze e Peirce hanno effettivamente detto, si colloca nel mezzo fra i due pensatori, con l'obiettivo di mostrare fino a che punto questa doppia deformazione possa reggere, dandoci alcuni indizi su come abitare il nostro contemporaneo.Una delle linee minori che attraversa, come un azzardo teoretico, tanto il pensiero di Peirce quanto quello di Deleuze è la necessità di proporre una visione globale e al contempo aperta del reale, unita alla complementare urgenza di offrire il terreno per una tale apertura entro un quadro che sia quello di una cosmologia in atto, colta nel suo divenire e di cui è fondamentale il senso di illimitatezza e crescita.Il tema della cosmologia in filosofia trova spazio per antonomasia ai margini del pensiero moderno, come una mosca bianca, e rappresenta una tappa minore presso cui soggiornare: all'ombra della metafisica e ai bordi dell'ontologia, sovvertendo i cardini della prima ed espandendo i confini della seconda, la cosmologia rappresenta cioè un terreno del pensiero di cui è ancora necessario comprendere la potenza, in senso spinoziano.La cosmologia ha un'esistenza chimerica, un carattere ibrido e una vocazione paradossale per il tutto, l'intero e la sua costitutiva e contradditoria apertura. Essa pensa al limite e il limite del pensiero, nella sua illimitatezza. Pensare l'universo o la dimensione naturante della natura – compito in linea di principio impossibile – significa mapparne l'articolazione aperta ed evenemenziale, seguirne le tracce, gli sviluppi e l'evoluzione, nella consapevolezza che non sia possibile ridurre l'universo ad un inerte e cristallizzato oggetto (di studi).Silvia Zanelli (Milano 1995), PhD in filosofia, è attualmente assegnista di ricerca presso l'Università di Bologna nell'ambito del progetto “Cult-up. Upcycling and Cultural Heritage”. I suoi interessi di ricerca riguardano il pensiero di Gilles Deleuze, di Charles Sanders Peirce e di Gilbert Simondon, con particolare attenzione per il rapporto tra pre-individualità ed individuazione. Al tema ha dedicato la monografia Con-fini. Deleuze, Simondon e il problema dell'individuazione (Roma 2023) e vari articoli scientifici.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/
