    Noosa - The Circle of (Fiber)life

    Noosa - The Circle of (Fiber)life

    Today we bring you Luna Aslan, Co-Founder of Noosa, for the fifth episode of Inspiring the Pack. Noosa aims to bring the textile industry to an unprecedented level of sustainability through their novel bio-based circular fiber.

    It is estimated that the fashion industry as a whole contributestowards approximately 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions. It cannot be disputed that the move towards circularity in the textile industry is of the utmost importance, especially considering the textile industry relies heavily on non-renewable resources. In line with this, today we discuss:

    •🪢 What exactly is a bio-based fiber, and how does it compare to conventional cotton?

    •♻️ How Luna sees the industry evolving in the future

    •💡 Influential resources in materializing an idea into a viable solution

    B4Plastics - Plastics: friend or foe?

    In the fourth episode of Inspiring the Pack, we sit down (virtually) with Stefaan De Wildeman, Director of B4Plastics. As a Polymer Architecture company, B4Plastics designs the plastics of tomorrow with functionality, ecology and cost in mind. Intrigued?

    Plastics have received a bad reputation over the years – and quite rightly so, in most cases. However, B4Plastics is playing a pivotal role in driving the New Plastics Economy. Today we discuss:

    • What is a Polymer Architecture company, anyway?!

    • How B4Plastics achieves both accuracy and speed in developing novel biomaterials

    • The three qualities of a good entrepreneur, according to Stefaan
