Each year 92 million tonnes of textile waste is sent to landfills, whilst some of these textiles are made from organic materials that can biodegrade, most are not and contain some form of synthetic polymer such as polyester. Kevin Sullivan is the CEO and co-founder of Tereform, a company aimed at the recycling of waste textiles. The end goal is to use these recycled textiles to produce raw materials that can then be used to create new textiles. During the podcast, we talked about the chemistry behind this process, which Kevin likened to a fire as the textiles react with oxygen in a chain reaction. We also discussed a number of interesting topics, such as Kevin's route into becoming a start-up founder and some of his experiences so far as a CEO.
