Meet the Innovators - Oritain, Full Cycle & Dry Fiber

We usually host this event in our headquarters in Amsterdam to give our local community the chance to meet and learn from the start-ups in our latest Accelerator Programme. Due to COVID-19 we opened it up to our international community, running it digitally for the first time! Our Director of Strategy, Brittany Burns, hosted the session, starting with a brief intro about how we work alongside these innovators through our Innovation Platform, before each innovator shared the disruptive solution they are working on. 02:58 - Ben Tomkins from Oritain explains their traceability solution, which uses forensic science and statistical data to verify a product back to its country, region or farm of origin. 10:30 - Oritain Q&A 21:19 - Ross Polk from Full Cycle Bio Plastics, shares how their patented technology converts waste streams like inedible food waste into Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) bioplastics that can degrade in an organic recycling loop and marine ecosystems. 26:36 - Full Cycle Q&A 37:13 - Cam Chidiac from Dry Fiber shares what PFCs are, why they are so harmful, and their solution for creating oil and water repellent textile finishes without the use of PFCs. 49:07 - Dry Fiber & general Q&A For more information about our Accelerator Programme, as well as all of the current and alumni innovators in our portfolio, please see https://fashionforgood.com/innovation...
