In this episode, we invited a guest who is neither a polymer expert nor in the recycling field but heavily contributes to circular economy, Andrea Canepa.
Andrea accomplished his bachelor's in economics and continued studying quantitative finance. His educational background and work experience revolve around data, and since then, he knew for sure that he wanted to do something impactful with it.
That’s what motivated him to start Net Zero Insights with a mission to create a platform to support entrepreneurs by connecting them and simplifying the search for technologies and innovative organisations developing climate positive solutions. Currently, Net Zero Insights aims to provide access to insights on climate innovation to investors, governments, policymakers, researchers, and business developers. It is a platform with a massive database of climate-positive startups in Europe and North America. The companies listed are broad-in-purpose, but have the same goal of saving the environment.
In this episode, we mainly discussed how data enables us to understand the impact of our material world on the environment and sets a benchmark for the success of our actions. It is highly needed to understand and measure the complex interrelationships between stakeholders because “If you can measure, you can manage!”
