Welcome to a brand-new episode of the New Horizons Podcast. You might not be familiar with Edwin Keh, but he stands as one of the most influential figures in the textile industry's sustainability landscape. If you're curious about the current state of affairs, then this podcast is just what you need!
We became aware of Edwin Keh when we heard about the "Green Machine" – an innovative recycling facility that can separate polyester from cotton using pressure, heat, and water. However, Edwin Keh, CEO of Hong Kong RITA (Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel), inspires not only with recycling solutions....

Talking with the Swedish entrepreneur of the year in our fresh episode of 'New Horizons'!

Must a company perpetually expand to be successful? Does the journey towards a more sustainable way of life also demand a personal commitment to growth? These are the thought-provoking questions we explored during our recent visit to ICEBUG.

Additionally, you'll discover why communal mushroom foraging and jogging have become integral elements of daily life at ICEBUG. The key takeaway from our visit is that personal development and achieving a work-life-balance are not just aspirations but can be tangible realities.

Our podcast host, Fabian Nendza, engaged...

„Für weniger schädlich sind wir zu viele. Wir müssen lernen für diesen Planeten gut zu sein, für die anderen Lebewesen auch. Wir sind das einzige Lebewesen, das Abfall macht, also warum sind wir dümmer als alle anderen?“

Dies ist eine der Leitfragen vom Begründer des Cradle 2 Cradle-Prinzip’s Professor Dr. Michael Braungart. Und nach diesem Prinzip hat Globetrotter den neu eröffneten Re:Think Store in Bonn gestaltet und zu 93,91% (massenbilanzieller Materialvergleich) gebrauchte und vorhandene Materialien vom Vormieter oder ungenutztes Inventar aus dem Globetrotter-Lager genutzt. Welche positiven Auswirkungen das auf den Fußabdruck, aber auch die gesundheitliche Qualität des Ladens hat, erfahrt...

Why do we care about PFAS?

PFAS have recently been making headlines under the synonym of "Forever Chemicals." They are chemical compounds used in outdoor products to provide important properties such as water, oil, and dirt repellency. The majority of PFASs are non-degradable or eventually transform into stable products that are still PFAS and can cause harm to the environment and human health.

Today, the textile industry is under pressure from both regulatory bodies and conscientious customers to replace these hazardous chemicals with alternative or substitute products with less environmental impact.

In this episode, we speak with Stefan Posner, a...

For this eleventh Episode Fabian Nendza travelled to Stockholm with the Hew Horizons Podcast team to meet Eva Karlsson personally in the Houdini Head office.
The CEO of Houdini Sportwear Eva Karlsson is pretty much understood as a true visionary. She thinks in systems and takes a broader perspective on sustainability. At the center of Houdini’s philosophy is functional circularity: the collection is produced with the best available technology and circular services are offered to Houdini’s clients to enhance their lifestyles.
Houdini’s actions are guided by a regular Planetary Boundary Assessment (Stockholm Resilience Center) to understand their own actions within...

But ‘Move to Natural’ goes way beyond icebreakers material strategy, it also means to invest into regenerative farming.

In this conversation we will explore the ‘Move to natural’ strategy by icebreaker with its senior global materials and sustainability Manager, Jordi Beneyto-Ferre.

Merino wool is the main ingredient of icebreaker products and the relationship to the wool growers is especially important....

Willkommen zu einer neuen Episode von Neue Horizonte. Wir widmen uns dem brennenden Thema Aktivismus. Unser Planet und wir erleiden die Folgen von Dekaden an Naturzerstörung, was nun durch die Effekte des Klimawandels immer deutlicher spürbar wird. Euer Host Fabian Nendza hat diesmal Patagonia im Studio. Einen echten Vorreiter, wenn nicht den Pionier schlechthin in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit, repräsentiert von Mick Austermühle. Seit Jahren macht Patagonia mit starken Kampagnen auf viele politische und wirtschaftliche Entscheidungen aufmerksam, die nicht nur die Biodiversität, sondern auch die kulturelle Diversität einschränken. Bei der aktuellen Kampagne „Save the blue Heart of Europe“, geht es darum, die...
