In today’s episode, Jaiko is speaking with Ashton Zeller, Chief Scientist at Algix, a clean technology company finding creative answers to eco-questions. In 2016, BLOOM, an Algix brand, launched the world’s first algae-blended EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) to the footwear industry as a sustainable ingredient in flexible foams for applications such as shoes, sporting products, and accessories. Throughout the episode, Jaiko and Ashton discuss the overall impact of the footwear industry on climate change, how it was first discovered that algae could be used as a plastic alternative, and where BLOOM fits into the present and future of sustainable footwear.
