An Innovation Studio Leans into the Power of Green Chemistry

Schoolab is an innovation studio that pairs student teams with corporate partners to solve real-world business & design challenges. In the US, they run a program at the University of California Berkeley called "Deplastify the Planet."

Recently it became clear that the sustainable design solutions they were trying to create would benefit tremendously from taking their design thinking all the way down to the molecular level. And so they began incorporating Green Chemistry into their work.

Kelly Chou, Program Manager for the Deplastify the Planet, joins me to discuss the powerful implications of this new approach.
