“…Africa’s skills in repair and refurbishing point the way for the global north.” Check out the latest edition of the Circular Economy Show Podcast from @ellenmacarthurfoundation #africa #circulareconomy

Imagine my surprise moving back to the U.S. a few years ago, when I attempted to repair broken electronics or other items and discovered that the cost of repair or refurbishment is sometimes almost even 2X the cost of purchasing a new unit. Sadly, cost won in most of those cases. Repair and Refurbishment are still very crucial aspects of enabling circular economy… maybe #Africa can show how? This podcast is very relatable and nostalgic for me. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Repair #Refurbish #Recycle

AgriSea NZ Seaweed Ltd and Scion's work together, showcases "what real collaboration looks like". That's what Agrisea CEO Clare Bradley says on the See Tomorrow First podcast. See Tomorrow First is billed as the home of the New Zealand Tech and Innovation Story. On a new podcast, they speak to some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most inspiring tech founders, leaders and creators, about taking their tech to the world, and the #challenges and #triumphs they’ve experienced. In episode 2, Clare Bradley of Agrisea speaks about the origins of the Paeroa-based company, challenges, wins and collaboration with Scion on the creation of nanocellulose hydrogels. She says investment in research and development was a key part of Agrisea's success but "collaborating with people is our number one super strength" and working with those with a shared mindset, leads to shared outcomes. Scion and Agrisea share common values and views such as there being no waste stream in nature and the importance of creating a circular bioeconomy. Clare says the work with Scion has not only led to world-first infrastructure, but it show cases "what real collaboration looks like". Nanocellulose is a high value material with tensile strength stronger than steel and a co efficient of expansion less than glass making it a very high performance material in many applications. Scion loves working with an innovative company like Agrisea.
