			<description><![CDATA[<p>Circular economy has been discussed for more than a decade, yet for most companies it remains fragmented, difficult to scale, and hard to explain to investors and decision-makers. While pilots and innovations abound, the lack of a shared framework has made it challenging to turn circular ambition into business strategy.</p><br><p>In this episode of <em>Circular Coffee Break</em>, host Michael Hanf sits down with Filipe Camaño Garcia, Lead, Global Circularity Protocol&nbsp;at the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. Filipe has spent more than a decade working across supply chains, humanitarian operations, policy, and sustainability transformations, and now leads one of the most ambitious global efforts to standardize how businesses approach circularity.</p><br><p>The conversation explores why circular economy urgently needs a common language and governance model, similar to what the Greenhouse Gas Protocol created for climate accounting. Filipe explains how the Global Circularity Protocol was developed through a two-year multistakeholder process involving more than 80 organizations, including global companies, governments, development banks, scientists, and civil society actors from both the Global North and the Global South.</p><br><p>Michael and Filipe discuss what the protocol actually does in practice. Rather than focusing on abstract principles, the Global Circularity Protocol provides a step-by-step framework to help companies measure, manage, and communicate their circular performance based on real material flows. The discussion highlights how circularity can be embedded into corporate strategy, risk management, and capital allocation, rather than remaining a sustainability side project.</p><br><p>A key theme of the episode is the reframing of circular economy as an economic and resilience agenda. Filipe shares insights on supply chain de-risking, resource volatility, and why circular strategies are becoming essential for long-term competitiveness. The conversation also reflects on the role of global policy moments such as COP, where circularity is beginning to gain recognition as a strategic lever for development, not just a waste or recycling issue.</p><br><p>The episode goes beyond frameworks and metrics, touching on leadership, systems thinking, and the importance of inclusivity. Filipe explains why the protocol was designed from the outset as a global tool, incorporating perspectives from emerging economies and regions where circular practices already exist but are often undervalued or informal.</p><br><p>This conversation is for sustainability leaders, strategy professionals, board members, and anyone working to translate circular economy from concept to action.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this Christmas special of the Circular Coffee Break, Michael Hanf explores what the holiday season looks like through the lens of circularity.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Circular Coffee Break, Michael Hanf speaks with Costas Papaikonomou, co-founder of Una Terra, a 200-million-euro early growth venture capital fund investing in solutions that accelerate the shift to a more circular and regenerative economy. Costas brings more than twenty-five years of experience in engineering, manufacturing, innovation consulting, and entrepreneurship. He has helped global consumer goods companies turn creative thinking into real products that work at scale. Today he applies the same hands-on mindset to impact investing.</p><p>The conversation explores what it truly takes to finance the transition to a circular world. Costas explains why circular innovation is still grounded in the physical realities of making things and why the fundamentals of commercial adoption determine whether impact can grow. He outlines why desirability always comes before impact and why technologies must fit into existing manufacturing systems if they are going to scale. A good idea is not enough. It must be something that large companies can buy, produce, and integrate with as little disruption as possible.</p><p>Michael and Costas dive into the long sales and adoption cycles that challenge early stage circular ventures. They discuss why many startups struggle to cross the gap between promising technology and successful industrial integration, and how investors can support them in staying flexible, reducing unnecessary capital expenditure, and using existing manufacturing capacity instead of building from scratch.</p><p>A key theme is the critical role of technical sales and customer fit. Costas shares how circular startups often underestimate the number of stakeholders involved in making a material or product switch inside a large organization. Success requires engaging procurement, R&amp;D, product design, logistics, and innovation teams. It also requires being able to tell the difference between customers who are serious about adopting a solution and those who are engaged in what he calls pilot washing. He explains how simple signals can help startups protect their time and focus their efforts on real opportunities.</p><p>Looking ahead, Costas sees strong momentum for circular investment. Environmental pressure, new regulation, concerns around human health, and the need for supply chain resilience are creating a perfect storm that will push industries to rethink how materials are produced, used, and reused. He argues that circularity is not only an environmental requirement. It is also a strategic and commercial one that will shape Europe’s competitiveness in the decades to come.</p><p>The episode closes with an optimistic but grounded reflection. The circular transition is a century scale journey. It requires investors and innovators who understand the realities of physical products, industrial systems, and commercial adoption. Una Terra aims to be part of this shift by backing companies that combine strong impact potential with practical pathways to market.</p><p>Tune in to learn how capital can become a catalyst for systemic change, what it takes to scale circular solutions, and how the next generation of ventures can reshape the material basis of our economy.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <em>The Circular Coffee Break</em>, host <strong>Michael Hanf</strong> speaks with <strong>Kate Reimann</strong>, Founder and CEO of <strong>Rogue Wave Toys</strong>, about how a single day at the beach led to a breakthrough in sustainable design.</p><br><p>When a wave swept her children’s plastic toys out to sea, Kate decided to rethink what play could look like in a world drowning in plastic. The result was Rogue Wave Toys, a company creating durable, compostable beach toys made from biopolymers, plastics made from plants instead of petroleum.</p><br><p>Together, Michael and Kate discuss:</p><p> 🔸 The long road from an idea to a viable circular product</p><p> 🔸 How compostable biopolymers work and why they matter</p><p> 🔸 The hidden challenges of consumer education and pricing in sustainability</p><p> 🔸 The importance of storytelling and authenticity in building awareness</p><p> 🔸 How circular design can reshape industries far beyond toys</p><br><p>Kate also shares lessons learned from building a mission-driven company, the importance of persistence, and her vision for scaling sustainable materials across industries, from beach toys to everyday products.</p><br><p>As she puts it, <em>“If we want a different future, we have to be brave enough to build it — even if that starts with something as small as a beach toy.”</em></p><br><p>🎧 <em>Listen to The Future of Play: Designing for a Circular World</em> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

The result was Rogue Wave Toys, a company creating durable, compostable beach toys made from biopolymers, plastics made from plants instead of petroleum.</p><br><p>Together, Michael and Kate discuss:</p><p> 🔸 The long road from an idea to a viable circular product</p><p> 🔸 How compostable biopolymers work and why they matter</p><p> 🔸 The hidden challenges of consumer education and pricing in sustainability</p><p> 🔸 The importance of storytelling and authenticity in building awareness</p><p> 🔸 How circular design can reshape industries far beyond toys</p><br><p>Kate also shares lessons learned from building a mission-driven company, the importance of persistence, and her vision for scaling sustainable materials across industries, from beach toys to everyday products.</p><br><p>As she puts it, <em>“If we want a different future, we have to be brave enough to build it — even if that starts with something as small as a beach toy.”</em></p><br><p>🎧 <em>Listen to The Future of Play: Designing for a Circular World</em> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>What does it take to design products that turn today’s waste into tomorrow’s resource? In this episode of the <em>Circular Coffee Break</em>, host Michael Hanf sits down with Dan Dicker, Founder and CEO of Circular&amp;Co., to explore how circular design principles can move from idea to practice.</p><br><p>Dan began his career as a designer at Dyson, where he experienced the thrill of blue sky innovation. Yet when he proposed using recycled materials, the idea was dismissed as impractical due to cost and supply chain risks. That rejection inspired him to start his own company in Cornwall, with a clear mission: create products made from waste, built to last, and fully recyclable at the end of life.</p><br><p>Over the past two decades, Circular&amp;Co. has grown into a global partner for companies and brands, helping them design and scale circular products. In the conversation, Dan shares lessons learned from that journey:</p><ul><li>Why circular design means looking beyond the product to redesign supply chains and logistics.</li><li>How to work with big brands by creating “win-win” solutions that fit existing operations.</li><li>The importance of choosing the right battles, picking materials and products that can be circular without needing to change customer habits.</li><li>Why consumer behaviour should not be the starting point. Circular products need to be the default so that adoption happens naturally.</li><li>The value of clear design rules. Circular&amp;Co. follows a “100, 10, 100” principle: 100 percent recycled content, minimum 10-year lifespan, and 100 percent recyclability.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Dan also highlights new business models that could shift markets. One is <strong>Tap and Reuse</strong>, a system piloted with Waitrose where customers borrow a reusable cup with a simple card tap, returning it within days at no cost. Another is <strong>product as a service</strong>, where durable goods like washing machines are leased rather than sold, aligning manufacturer incentives with longevity and repairability.</p><br><p>The episode also explores how Circular&amp;Co.’s Cornish roots shaped its ethos. Being based in a coastal community brought the team closer to nature and sustainability, while proximity to Exeter University’s Centre for the Circular Economy provided vital research partnerships.</p><br><p>For companies starting out, Dan offers practical advice. Set clear design pillars from the beginning. Work only with suppliers willing to innovate. Insist on better, even when it is hard. And above all, maintain a can do mindset. Circularity will not always be easy, but the rewards in resilience and competitive advantage are significant.</p><br><p>As Dan puts it, “The pace is frustrating, but it will happen. Our job is to push the snowball down the hill. Over time, momentum is unstoppable.”</p><br><p>This conversation is not only a story of one entrepreneur’s persistence, but also a guide for leaders who want to embed circularity into their own businesses.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Polyester and nylon dominate the textile industry because they are affordable, durable, and versatile. But these same materials are also among the leading sources of <strong>microplastic pollution</strong> worldwide, from the clothes we wear to the carpets beneath our feet. Addressing this challenge is complex, but innovation is beginning to provide new answers.</p><br><p>In this episode of <em>The Circular Coffee Break</em>, host <strong>Michael Hanf</strong> is joined by <strong>Andrea Ferris</strong>, Co-Founder and CEO of Intrinsic Advanced Materials and co-inventor of a breakthrough technology designed to embed <strong>biodegradable pathways</strong> into synthetic fibers. The result: textiles that retain the strength and performance of polyester while reducing their long-term environmental impact.</p><br><p>Andrea shares her journey from managing uniform programs for McDonald’s to spearheading textile innovation with global brands. What started as a practical need to “make a better polyester” has evolved into a technology now available in 18 countries and used by retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Hanes.</p><br><p>The conversation explores:</p><p> 🔹 The scale of microfiber pollution and why synthetics are unlikely to disappear anytime soon</p><p> 🔹 How biodegradable pathways work at the polymer level to reduce microplastic pollution</p><p> 🔹 The importance of creating a drop-in solution that doesn’t change consumer behavior</p><p> 🔹 Lessons learned from scaling new materials across global supply chains</p><p> 🔹 How brands, regulators, and consumers are shaping the pace of adoption</p><p> 🔹 Why affordability and infrastructure are critical to mainstreaming sustainable fibers</p><p> 🔹 The role of champions inside companies who push innovation forward</p><p> 🔹 The growing consumer awareness of microplastics and their health impacts</p><br><p>Andrea emphasizes that incremental change matters. While some argue for eliminating synthetics entirely, the reality is that 70 million metric tons of polyester are produced annually, projected to reach 90 million by 2030. Realistic, scalable solutions that work with existing systems are essential.</p><br><p>She also points to rising consumer awareness: studies show microplastics are found in seafood and even in human bodies, with textile fibers making up a majority of the fragments detected.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when a 130-year-old food company decides to turn its waste into value? In this episode of <em>The Circular Coffee Break</em>, we sit down with <strong>Juhani Sibakov, Head of Innovation at Fazer Bakery Finland</strong>, and <strong>Katariina Rommi, Senior Manager at Fazer Lab</strong>, to uncover how Fazer is reimagining food waste—and turning surplus bread into a circular innovation success story.</p><br><p>At the heart of the discussion is Fazer’s latest creation: <em>Brewed with Fazer Rescued Bread</em>, a new craft beer developed in collaboration with Teerenpeli Brewery &amp; Distillery. The twist? It’s made using surplus rye bread from Fazer’s own bakeries, replacing up to 25% of the traditional malt. What started as an idea nearly a decade ago has now become a shelf-ready product available in supermarkets across Finland.</p><br><p>We unpack how this venture fits into Fazer’s ambitious goal to cut food waste by 50% by 2030, and explore the technical, cultural, and commercial ingredients that made it possible. From stabilizing fluctuating side streams to crafting a consumer-friendly narrative, the team shares how they turned a sustainability challenge into an innovation opportunity.</p><br><p>Katariina walks us through Fazer Ventures—an internal startup model that empowers employees to act like entrepreneurs and test ideas fast. Whether it’s oat-based frozen treats or beer from bakery leftovers, these internal ventures are helping Fazer build new value chains and shift from waste to worth.</p><br><p>Key topics we cover in this episode:</p><ul><li>The story behind <em>Brewed with Fazer Rescued Bread</em></li><li>Technical challenges and how the team overcame them</li><li>How upcycled ingredients can be made drop-in ready for partners</li><li>The power of cross-functional teams and agile experimentation</li><li>Changing consumer perceptions around surplus-based products</li><li>What makes a circular collaboration succeed across industries</li><li>Why internal venturing is key for scaling sustainability</li><li>Future circular product ideas from chocolate, candy, and more</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Juhani and Katariina also reflect on how the retail landscape is evolving, with major Finnish retailers now actively seeking products made from surplus ingredients and how consumer attitudes toward circularity are maturing beyond price sensitivity.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
