Description

What if everything that looked like plastic wasn’t? What if it was something better? Better in that it was a truly biodegradable material, and a product that wasn’t just carbon neutral but carbon negative? In that it takes harmful greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere in its creation?California-based Newlight Technologies have spent more than a decade developing a revolutionary material called AirCarbon. It uses greenhouse gas as feedstock to create a meltable, carbon-negative material that can be used as a replacement for plastic, leather, fibers, and more. AirCarbon is a natural material and contains no synthetic plastics, PLA or synthetic glues, requires no food crops for production and is home compostable, soil degradable and ocean-friendly, degrading naturally if it ends up in the environment. Today I am really excited to be talking to Mark Herrema, Co Founder and CEO of Newlight Technologies.https://www.newlight.com/Eco Life Hack - flight free holidayshttps://www.byway.travel/GET IN TOUCH!https://www.instagram.com/ageofplasticpodcast/https://twitter.com/andrea_foxhttps://www.iamandreafox.co.uk/https://www.facebook.com/ageofplasticpodcast
