In this episode of Green Disruptors, host Megan Kjar talks with Ravi Kiran Polepeddi, co-founder of Sustainium, a sustainability platform helping businesses take control of their carbon footprint—without the complexity.

Ravi shares how his childhood in India inspired a lifelong passion for environmental stewardship, leading to the creation of Sustainium. Together, they explore:

• Why carbon accounting is the "diagnosis" step every business needs

• How AI can eliminate human error, automate ESG reporting, and educate teams company-wide

• Why "compliance" shouldn't be the goal—and how smart emissions tracking reduces costs, attracts investors, and builds better brands

Whether you’re a global manufacturer or a growing startup, this episode is your guide to turning emissions data into meaningful action.

In this episode of Green Disruptors: Scaling the Future, Megan Kjar sits down with Nicholas Rohleder, co-founder of Climate Commodities, to explore how his team is transforming hazardous waste into critical inputs for the steel, semiconductor, and ceramics industries.

Nicholas breaks down his company’s unique "barbell" model—balancing greenfield project development with brownfield acquisitions—and shares how they’re bringing an insurance-linked approach to derisk climate infrastructure.

We also dive into the hidden challenges of feedstock quality, the fragility of capital markets, and how regulatory volatility is shaping the next wave of climate innovation.

Whether you’re a climate investor, founder, or policymaker—this conversation offers a rare window into the frontier of resource recovery and the structural innovation happening behind the scenes.

In this episode of Green Disruptors: Scaling the Future, Megan Kjar sits down with Will Glazener, co-founder of Terralytiq, to explore the critical—and often overlooked—pathway to supply-chain decarbonization. Will shares how his experience leading McKinsey’s decarbonization practice inspired him to build a software platform that empowers the world’s largest manufacturers to reduce upstream emissions.

You’ll learn why Terralytiq flips the traditional “measure first” mindset on its head, focusing instead on targeted emissions reduction at the biggest hotspots—such as aluminum smelters—before tracking results. We also dive into the business case for sustainability, from long-term renewable electricity gains to near-term cost parity, and how collaborative demand signals can unlock transformative change across global supply chains.
