Polyurethane Should Be Banned From Fashion? (ft. Liz Unikowski, Sustainability Consultant) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a sustainability consultant, Liz Unikowski has spent 15 years untangling fashion's supply chains (from leather traceability to bio-based materials) and she says one popular shoe component quietly wrecks even the most durable footwear. - How polyurethane insoles can cut a 30-year leather shoe's life down to two - The "cradle to cradle" framework, and why a biological circular lifecycle is nearly impossible to scale affordable - Why a $10 shirt can never actually cover its true cost - The EU's
Rare Earth-Free Magnets Made From Steel Waste and Ammonia (ft. Jake Brown, from Niron Magnetics) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Niron Magnetics applications engineer Jake Brown explains how iron nitride, a magnet material made from steel processing waste and ammonia, is challenging rare-earth dominance in motors, without any dependence on Chinese supply chains. From efficiency gains to a wild dream project involving a vintage truck, Jake walks us through what it takes to build a rare-earth alternative from scratch, and his path until now. ♻️ Join us to hear about: Why permanent magnets beat induction motors on efficiency
From a Burping Cow to Carbon-Negative Solution: Turning Methane Into Biopolymer (ft. Mark Herrema, CEO of Aircarbon) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the same greenhouse gas warming the planet could be turned into the material inside your next pair of shoes? Methane is over 28 more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, and AirCarbon has built a way to capture it and turn it into a biodegradable, plastic-like material using microorganisms. In this deep dive, I sit down with Mark Herrema, CEO of Aircarbon, to talk about how a story about a cow sparked the idea for the company, what it actually takes to turn methane emissions into a usabl
