Behind the scenes at businesses large and small, a paradigm shift is quietly taking place. The very concept of waste is being redefined, with materials of all kinds being given new life, in turn saving carbon emissions, preserving natural resources and boosting companies’ bottom lines.

For the second podcast in our podcast series exploring the role of tech in driving forward the circular economy, we chatted to Lieke van Kerkhoven. Lieke is co-founder of Floow2, a dynamic asset-sharing marketplace built around the principles of circularity.

Last month, we made the decision to close one of our pro bono services, One Page Impact Reports.

The idea for the tool came about in 2015 when we partnered with Intentionality, to build an online tool enabling users to create One Page Impact Reports.
