S7E6 'Creating Circular Economy for Creative Materials', with Frieda Bischoff of Renée Materials 👗
"We're building the 'TooGoodToGo' for the Creative Material industry!"
Waste is a massive, global problem.
Across the world, ton after ton of high-quality material is sent to landfill or incinerators.
And yet concurrently, there is a huge demand for creative material; ranging from different fabrics, leather, paper, and more.
Seeing the challenge of these two extremes, one company in particular is fighting to bridge the gap. And that is 'Renée Materials', co-created by our sixth guest of the season, Frieda Bischoff.
Renee is a digital platform that enables companies to sell their leftover, surplus stock and offcut waste to be reused. So instead of being sent to landfill, surplus materials can be purchased at a great price, and re-enter the market.
We were delighted Frieda joined us for this episode, and sat down with James to discuss:
🌲 Her childhood growing up in the Black Forest of Germany
⚠️ 'The Rebound Effect', and why giving things away for free can be a BAD thing
💰 Why Sustainable options must also be competitively priced
🥊 Fighting as a competitor to Amazon
🔄 The role which Circular Economy will play in our future
... and much more! ✨
Frieda's episode was so uplifting, and we really felt her passion and positive outlook permeate through this chat. We hope you enjoy the episode 💚
