New materials for a circular economy

To accelerate the transition to a circular economy, we need the materials to help us get there. In this episode, we hear from three companies about how their work contributes to taking us away from the linear take-make-waste economy, to a circular one. We’re joined by Pascal Chalvon Demersay, Chief Sustainability & Government Affairs Officer at Solvay; Liz Corbin, the Co-CEO & Founder of Materiom; and Neekta Hamidi, Associate Director of Policy & Partnerships at Ginkgo Bioworks. Our guests discuss how science not only helps to develop regenerative materials, but also provides data to learn from. This is the fourth in a series of podcast episodes recorded at Summit 22 — the Foundation's flagship annual event — which brought together business leaders, policymakers, innovators, and global changemakers to explore how we can redesign our economy so that it regenerates, rather than destroys, the natural world.
