In this episode you’ll meet a seaweed farmer, a former fashion designer and a CEO with a passion for battery recycling, as we ask: how important is it to track the supply chain to be sure the materials we’re using are climate neutral? How possible is it for the materials in our products to be designed for a closed-loop system so they don’t end up in landfill?

With continued innovation, investment and consumer support, the products we use every day will increasingly be designed and made with use and reuse front of mind. Let’s hope there will come a time when no one will talk about the circular economy any more because it will just be the way we do things.

Decarbonising the automotive industry will require a full-scale shift to electrification, with backing from consumers, government, and, of course, the industry itself. In this episode you’ll discover the electric performance car company that has a moonshot goal to create a climate neutral car, and is setting a standard for the whole automotive industry.

You’ll also meet the maritime innovators behind a super-efficient, light, electric ferry, and discover advances in the pursuit of the electrification of the aviation industry, which focus on retrofitting existing aircraft.

If we focus our efforts on making new builds and renovations more energy efficient, it will cost us less in the long run and make it easier for us to bring down emissions. It will also feel less like we’re living in drafty tents.

In this episode you’ll hear from a leading sustainability architect, a man with a dream for pull-apart houses, and a retrofitting renovator with high hopes, as we explore how to reduce the energy leaking from Australia’s poorly insulated buildings to make them thermally efficient – designed to be warm in winter and cool in summer.
