Join SolarSEED, Ace of Air, and Loop, as they share their stories and efforts in becoming pioneers of Design and the Circular Economy.
SolarSEED makes renewable energy more accessible and resilient by means of their innovative technology. By reducing cost and complexity, energy no longer has to be a luxury for locations suffering from energy insecurity and those beyond-the-grid.
Ace of Air is a certified B Corp that provides vegan, fair-trade, cruelty-free beauty and wellness products. Moreover, their packaging is entirely reusable, making it a zero-waste brand.
Loop is a global, zero-waste packaging movement. Rather than selling products and the single use packaging they come in, they lend their products in durable, reusable containers that are easily returned for replacements.
