Patrick Blampied
Pat's path to a circular economy business looks more like a messy squiggle spanning 15 years that's finally starting to loop back around - But isn't that the path we all have to take to close the loop?
Annually, 35,000 tonnes of Geelong's residential organic waste is processed into compost through Sequence Digital's compost operations management software. Now they've completed a two year trial of a new type of rugged remote temperature sensing device that monitors combustible organic waste 24/7.
Camilla’s enthusiasm for changing lifestyles, determination to change the world, devotion to a positive change of any kind, love of innovative ideas and desire to always push the boundaries organically came together eventually - and so ecokit was born. She is proud to be doing what she enjoys and loves - helping people to fulfil their dreams of living in a comfortable, sustainable, healthy & happy home.
Kelly Thomas
Kelly Thomas is the Creator behind the innovative Textiles and fashion label, The Compostable Designer. She is a designer, and engineer, an activist and an educator. Following a career that began in dance and performance, Kelly moved into costume design and fashion. She has created designs for artist, musicians, including a sustainable costume commission for a Westend Production sponsored by Andrew Lloyd Weber.
The Compostable designer is not a fashion label it is designed to inspire people to change the way they buy. Feel connected to what they buy and most of all becoming part of the solutions for immediate change. Not greenwashing ideals but a real commitment to change. As a consumer you have the opportunity to change the world.
