Heroes of tomorrow Podcast

Heroes Of Tomorrow is a podcast about personal values, creativity, circular economy and Cradle to Cradle®. In a world that appears to be caught in a perpetual cycle of take - make - use - waste, the episodes are a very personal statement from successful, charismatic professionals about the necessity for circular thinking in our consumer society and the urgent need to act. Through the lens of individuals in different fields - ranging from cosmetics, furniture design to industrial production, consulting or certification, a unique perspective is given on how and why these people invest themselves in this field: what drives them.
