Our guest for this episode, William Orts, is someone we've been trying to get on the show for a while, and we're so glad we persevered.

The work he's doing with USDA-ARS as the Research Leader in their bio-products division goes to showcase the remarkable progress that can be made when driven people work within the government ecosystem.

William, or Bill, as he's better known, calls himself a PHA lifer, and that pretty much sets the tone of our conversation with him.

We were hooked as he educated us on the origin of bio-plastics and the laudable work USDA-ARS is doing behind the scenes to create a conducive ecosystem for bio-products development and policy advocacy.

A lot of guests come on our show with a wealth of knowledge but the genuine intention and readiness to share and collaborate is what sets Bill apart, and also makes this episode a must listen!

When we interacted with Tastee Tape Founder, Marie Eric at the Rethinking Materials Summit in London, we knew she'd be the perfect guest for our show. And we're so glad she agreed!

With an educational background in biomolecular engineering and a spark to challenge the status quo of food wrapping, her vision is truly inspiring.

We discuss her fascinating journey from going viral in 2022 for the burrito tape she worked on in university and getting featured on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to becoming a successful entrepreneur!
