In this episode under the Climate Catalysts theme of GET SET GREEN, we explore how innovation inspired by natural materials and circular thinking can create practical solutions for a more sustainable future.

Meet Saji Varghese, Founder of Sunbird Straws, a venture working at the intersection of sustainable materials, product innovation, and climate-conscious design. His work focuses on creating scalable alternatives using naturally available resources while rethinking how everyday products are designed and consumed.

Through this conversation, we explore the journey behind Sunbird Straws, the role of material innovation in sustainability, the challenges of building climate-focused products, and how nature-inspired solutions can contribute to larger environmental systems.

We also discuss consumer behaviour, circular economy thinking, and why innovation for climate solutions sometimes begins with reimagining the simplest products around us.
