Can transformative “weird science” save supply chains?
Supply chains need to be transformed, not just optimized, to survive the climate crisis. In this episode, Deborah explores the “weird science” behind cutting-edge concepts with Tom Van Aken, CEO of Avantium, a plant-based plastics manufacturer, Dr. Anthony Atala, Director of the Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative Medicine and a bioengineering pioneer, Eben Bayer, CEO of Ecovative, a company that grows mushrooms as an alternative materials source, Tyler Cole, an electrofuels expert and the host of the Net-Zero Carbon podcast, and Zero100 research science director Colin Gilbert. Could the innovations we’re exploring today completely change how supply chains source materials, manufacture goods, and ship products?
