Japanese water goddess, sports-bras and producer responsibility - with Claudia Glass from Swijin

Claudia Glass has accomplished an inspiring journey from being a high-school teacher to becoming an innovator in the field of sustainable performance apparel. She is the co-founder of Swijin, a Swiss startup that develops sustainable performance swimwear, and joined us from Zurich to speak about her mission to innovate a quick-drying "swimrun suit". We discover what a Japanese water goddess has to do with feeling good, and also discuss how important it is for entrepreneurs to take responsibility for the products that they introduce to the world. We also talk about the challenges emerging from complex supply chains for polymers that are used in fiber production, and why transparency is the only way to true circularity and reduction of green house gas emissions.
