Summer is officially here and so is travel. Something you might see or use out and about are single use utensils. Newlight Technologies is revolutionizing typically wasteful products and materials. Please welcome CEO and Co-Founder, Mark Herrema, on the Make Climate Cool Again Podcast. 
 Mark has spent the last 15 years developing a revolutionary new biomaterial called AirCarbon. By feeding greenhouse gasses to microorganisms found in the ocean, Newlight is able to extract AirCarbon and use it to replace plastic, leather, acetate and other fibers.
Naturally regenerative and carbon-negative, AirCarbon has been used to create Restore FoodWare, which is carried nationwide by Target and has been implemented into Shake Shack locations, and Covalent fashion. A few months ago, it was announced that the use of AirCarbon is going to be explored by Nike in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint further.
