From scary climate movies to the development of a plastic accounting protocol with Dominic Santschi from Ampliphi

Dominic Santschi is a talented young entrepreneur from Switzerland. Following his passion for protecting the environment, he is on the mission to tackle the plastic crisis with his company, Ampliphi. In this podcast, he takes us on his journey starting with his childhood in the beautiful heart of Switzerland over the insurance business and a couple of other career stages into the field of sustainability straight to the development of a system that helps companies to calculate their plastic footprint.

We speak about the importance of measuring the impact of plastic consumption in order to generate trust via transparency, which is necessary to create science-based and measurable strategic progress towards a circular economy.

It’s time to act!

A world made of biopolymers and the holy grail of biodegradability - with Jörg Dörrstein from Biofibre

Jörg Dörrstein is the CEO of a German company called Biofibre, which is developing sustainable plastic solutions out of renewable raw materials, ensuring that those resources do not compete with food production. Jörg tuned in from South of Germany to talk with us about the potentials but also complex challenges of industrializing bio-based plastic solutions.

We uncovered some myths about bio-based and biodegradable materials and talked about adopting new perspectives to lead us from the current non-sustainable plastic age into a future where we are able to tune the biodegradability of the materials that we produce. Understanding that the entire world is made out of biopolymers is one of such perspectives.
