  1. This company is making endlessly recyclable shoe soles from Mediterranean cork!

    This company is making endlessly recyclable shoe soles from Mediterranean cork!

    Series 3, episode 14 of the Sustainability Champions Podcast!  Introducing David Even, the Co-Founder of PRIMAL Soles, a company that specialises in making circular cork insoles which are endlessly reusable. According to Circular Online, 23 billion pairs of shoes are made each year and 22 billion pairs are thrown into landfill. With sneakerhead and trainer consumption only growing every year - more of what goes into our shoes is just ending up in landfills.  Shoes are one thing, but shoe insoles themselves are contaminating the environment by emitting chemicals into the soil and groundwater.  So, what is the solution to this problem? PrimalSoles shoes believe they have the answer.  PRIMAL Soles are CO2 negative and endlessly recyclable high performance cork insoles. The bottom of each insole is made from recycled cork and footwear waste. Made for a lifetime of maximum comfort without the environmental footprint. What makes it even better is you can return your PRIMAL Soles and reuse the material endlessly.  With Carbon neutral shipping on all orders, now that we at SC have discovered this brand, we will be using what David and his team have made in our shoes going forward. A small change with such a huge impact!

    This company is transforming discarded wood set for landfills and turning it into valuable products!

    Series 3, episode 11 of the Sustainability Champion's Podcast! Introducing Theo Hooker, Co-Founder of Cambium Carbon; a company that specialises in transforming fallen trees into valuable products with place-based impact! Put simply, the team at Cambium Carbon looks to source locally, save locally and reinvest in local tree planting. A circular economy model that creates new green jobs and funding support for urban canopy restoration in the communities that need it most.   The problem that Theo and his team are looking to address is that in the US alone, more than 45 million tons of urban tree waste is generated every year. With wood reuse, in the US alone, this has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 251 million tons annually.  The approach that Cambium Carbon takes is unique—reduce wood waste, create jobs in a transparent supply chain, and support equitable restoration of community forests.  This week’s podcast guest features Theo Hooker from Cambium Carbon.  Learn more about Cambium Carbon through the link below: https://cambiumcarbon.com Follow Cambium Carbon on social media through the links below: https://cambiumcarbon.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/cambium-carbon/ Find out more about Cambium Carbon and champions like them on our website:  https://www.sustainabilitychampions.com Also, follow us on socials:  https://instagram.com/sustainabilitychampions  https://www.linkedin.com/company/sustainability-champions  Please subscribe for more videos like this one.  Presented by: Daniel Hartz  Produced by: Daniel Hartz & Peter Donnelly Video Edit by: Abdallah Raddadi  Sustainability Champions Ltd.

    This tea company’s factory that runs on 100% renewable energy and gives back to the grid!

    Series 3, episode 9 of the Sustainability Champions Podcast!  Introducing Daniel Graham, Managing Director of Birchall Tea, a company that specialises in making fine teas with a focus on sustainability using plant-based tea bags.  For those who watch our podcast weekly, you will know that our Host, Daniel Hartz, loves, as the British call it - a cuppa.  In fact, per episode, Daniel will go through an entire pot of tea - so approximately 4 cups per episode.  So when the opportunity came about to interview a tea company, with sustainable practices and infrastructure, we (Daniel) were extremely excited! A company that’s been in the tea trade since 1872, Birchall Tea is an award winning, family-run business located in England. What makes Birchall tea stand out from their competitors is their commitment to sustainability - and this is evident in their factory, which is powered 100% by 482 solar panels - which produces twice as much electricity than their factory needs, meaning they give a lot of the energy back to the grid! What’s more - Birchall Tea has become the first tea company in the world to officially join the UN’s Climate Neutral Now initiative, which invites organisations to work towards global climate neutrality by addressing their own climate footprint.  Even down to their tea - Birchall Tea have created a biodegradable tea bag, which is plastic free. So with 165 million cups of tea enjoyed in the UK each year, Birchall Tea are on a mission to make sustainable practices at the core of their operations.  Guilt-free sipping. In this week’s podcast, we learn more about Birchall Tea and their approach to being more sustainable.  This week’s podcast guest features Daniel Graham from Birchall Tea.  Learn more about Birchall Tea through the link below: https://birchalltea.co.uk Follow Birchall Tea on social media through the links below: https://instagram.com/birchalltea/ https://www.facebook.com/birchalltea Find out more about Birchall Tea and champions like them on our website:  https://www.sustainabilitychampions.com Also, follow us on socials:  https://instagram.com/sustainabilitychampions  https://www.linkedin.com/company/sustainability-champions  Please subscribe for more videos like this one.  Presented by: Daniel Hartz  Produced by: Daniel Hartz & Peter Donnelly Video Edit by: Abdallah Raddadi  Sustainability Champions Ltd.

  7. This app is helping consumers reduce their emissions and live more sustainability - each purchase at a time!

    This app is helping consumers reduce their emissions and live more sustainability - each purchase at a time!

    Series 3, episode 8 of the Sustainability Champion's Podcast! Introducing Sanchali Pal, Founder of The Commons Earth, a company that specialises in helping consumers measure and reduce their carbon footprint.  For Sanchali, she saw first hand the impacts the climate crisis is having on people when working in Ethiopia and India. When returning to the US, Sanchali began tracking her carbon footprint in an excel spreadsheet, and through tracking her purchasing, and other activity, was able to cut her emissions by over 30%. For Sanchali - her life is richer, healthier, and happier because of it.  “We have an intuition for other important metrics in our lives – dollars, calories, steps. Soon we’ll have an intuition for carbon, too.”- Sanchali Pal.  So how does The Commons Earth app work?  Every spending choice is a climate choice, and every purchase is an opportunity for action.  The products and services we buy require resources from the Earth to produce. Those are carbon costs, and they’re part of being alive.  The Commons Earth helps you grow your carbon institution so we can shrink our collective impact.  Track your emission, act on how you are building a lifestyle that is more in balance with the planet, offset to compensate for unavoidab;e commissions, and multiplying - getting more people to have more balance.  It’s that simple.  In this week’s podcast, we learn more about The Commons app, and how it works. We also discuss Sanchali’s background and the inspiration she had in developing this app - also what’s next for The Commons Earth as they begin to scale out!  This week’s podcast guest features Claire McGovern from Rhyme Studio.  Learn more about The Commons Earth through the link below: https://www.thecommons.earth Follow The Commons Earth on social media through the links below: https://www.instagram.com/the.commons.earth https://www.facebook.com/commonsearth/about/ Find out more about The Commons Earth and champions like them on our website:  https://www.sustainabilitychampions.com Also, follow us on socials:  https://instagram.com/sustainabilitychampions  https://www.linkedin.com/company/sustainability-champions  Please subscribe for more videos like this one.  Presented by: Daniel Hartz  Produced by: Daniel Hartz & Peter Donnelly Video Edit by: Abdallah Raddadi  Sustainability Champions Ltd.

  8. This company is on a mission to reduce waste, and reliance on fossil fuels in the wool market!

    2023. 07. 05.

    This company is on a mission to reduce waste, and reliance on fossil fuels in the wool market!

    Series 3, episode 7 of the Sustainability Champions Podcast!  Introducing Claire McGovern, Founder of Rhyme studio, a company that specialises in advisory, interior design and design manufacturing of high quality, customisable, responsible, and healthy sustainable furnishings that includes; carpets, tapestry & textile collections.  In many of our recent podcast episodes, we have discussed the textiles industry widely and the issues textile materials have on the environment. So we are always delighted to learn about new champions who are working in this space to reduce waste, introduce a circular approach in production and reuse as much as possible.  And that is exactly what Claire and her team are doing at Rhyme Studio. After the collapse of the Irish wool market in 2020, Rhyme Studio became the sole entity both inside and outside Ireland promoting the use of native Irish wool for carpet & textiles. An environmental tragedy persists today as many sheep farmers the world over dump or burn freshly shorn wool deemed unacceptable by a fashion industry that will only trade in merino or fossil fuel based synthetic fibres. With a shift towards mass production of petrochemical based synthetics and resource draining cotton, this approach has transformed the global fibre market, largely driven by the whims of the fashion industry. Within the EU alone, there is considerable wool waste and a failure to recognise the multi-faceted renewable and biodegradable qualities of this earliest known natural textile. At Rhyme Studio it is their desire for the design world to put nothing out that does not give back in equal measure. Calling attention to the unnecessary waste, the decline of the global market for wool and the environmental crisis facing the industry. Carbon sinking, renewable & biodegradable wool fibre, not synthetic and fossil fuel dependent fibre is Nature’s way and has a multitude of uses not limited to their customizable surfacing and textiles. Rhyme Studio’s ultimate goal is a circular production model for a genuinely responsible design collection.  This week’s podcast guest features Claire McGovern from Rhyme Studio.  Learn more about Rhyme Studio through the link below: https://www.rhymestudio.com Follow Rhyme Studio on social media through the links below: https://www.instagram.com/rhymestudioart/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/rhyme-studio-inc/ Find out more about Rhyme Studio and champions like them on our website:  https://www.sustainabilitychampions.com Also, follow us on socials:  https://instagram.com/sustainabilitychampions  https://www.linkedin.com/company/sustainability-champions  Please subscribe for more videos like this one.  Presented by: Daniel Hartz  Produced by: Daniel Hartz & Peter Donnelly Video Edit by: Abdallah Raddadi  Sustainability Champions Ltd.
