Today's episode we talk about one of the coolest inventions in the sustainability space: leather made from apple cider and juice pulp. The leather is produced locally in Copenhagen and the apple manufacturing facility is only an hour away. Still in the patent pending process, we're still waiting to learn about Beyond Leather's actual process, but it's eco-friendly composition will be a game changer in the fashion industry. It is the only vegan leather I've seen thus far made without fossil fuel derived materials.

This week we chatted with Carly Burson, Founder and CEO of Tribe Alive. Founded in 2014, Tribe Alive grew from an eight-women team to a team now of over 325 artisans. It initially began as a way to economically and socially empower women who are negatively impacted by gender inequality. Tribe Alive has four core values: built by women, safe and meaningful work environments, designed to last, and environmental consciousness. The goal has always been to create minimalistic, eco-friendly items of clothing that can be worn for years. She went into depth on the supply chain, importance of paying a living wage, and more.
