Innovation and new alternatives are ensuring sustainable changes become the norm as we move forward in a more environmentally conscious world. Industries like leather are having to seek out innovative alternatives to traditional animal leathers or plastic vegan leather to meet customers desires for more sustainable alternatives. This weeks guest, Tessa Carroll has used her entrepreneurial nature to build two sustainable businesses that pride themselves on being ahead of the curve and using innovative materials like plant-based leathers. Her businesses A_C Official and The Common Good Company are working to offer more sustainable options to consumers. In this conversation, we covered a lot, including all things plant-based vegan leathers, how Tessa had to knock down doors to get access to the innovative materials, how plant-based leather is made and the benefits and limitations of these alternatives. We also spoke about the importance of innovation and not settling for what is already out there when searching for sustainable products. Finally, we dived into recycled materials, managing microplastics and the reality of modern manufacturing.
