Did you know power tools, electronics, toys, and phones all use lithium-ion batteries? OR that as of 2023, we only recycle less than 5% of Lithium batteries? This week we spoke with Green Li-Ion Co-founder, Leon Farrant, who went from living off the grid to working in the oil & gas industry, and finally full CIRCULAR back to Green Li-Ion. Green Li-Ion is a lithium-ion battery recycling startup who are turning battery disposal from negative to positive. Green Li-Ion COULD be considered the Michelangelo of lithium-ion batteries, where they spent 10 years developing a proprietary machine that could process old batteries in 1 fell swoop. We dive deep into…What’s the circular economy and how it plays together with climate tech, how anyone could start a battery recycling business and make it profitable & lucrative using Green Li-Ion’s tech, and how the battery supply chain is a mess yet has explosive potential over the next 20 years.

Bam! This was a very special episode that dare we say could be considered the new Impossible Foods of CPG? Join the regeneration and learn more about what exactly planet-based foods are with Chris Langwallner, the creator of the bamnut And CEO of WhatIfFoods. Chris is a food seasoning guru and industry veteran who had a chance encounter that led him to an absolutely magical plant, the Bambara groundnut, that could both grow in AND regenerate dead soil. Fast forward 4 years later and WhatIfFoods staple products, instant noodles & bamnut milk (think of oat milk but wayyy better for the environment & your body), are in hundreds of grocery stores across America. We dive deep into how Chris borrowed an innovation from the toilet paper industry to make their instant noodles healthier, what regenerative capitalism is, how to market to a Gen Z target audience, and the positive feedback loop the bamnut is creating in West Africa for farmers, by doubling the revenue potential of their soil.

That’s where Redwood comes in. They have supported a ton of companies, some that you might recognize are Google Nest, The Nature Conservancy, and Rocky Mountain Institute. We dive deep: how the zeitgeist of “talking about climate” changed over the past 30 years, how the failure of the current “sacrifice to serve” climate movement has failed, how to create more Tesla brands, and much much more.
