A true trailblazer, Untouched World founder Peri Drysdale was shocked by the environmental degradation she was seeing. Determined to do things differently, she launched her clothing brand in 1981. It was called Snowy Peak after the family farm she grew up on and ever since, she's been building a clothing brand that does business in a completely different, sustainable way.

Hear Peri talk about...

• Why naivete is an entrepreneur's superpower
• How she was shamed for not being satisfied with being a stay-at-home mum
• Her path from nursing to retail
• How she started off selling unlabelled mittens without thumbs
• The tough times for the business when her house was literally on the line
• How she got global leaders including Bill Clinton wearing Untouched World garments
• Her frustration with the contamination of microfibers
• Why recycling plastics into clothing is not the answer
• How the B Corp logo has given her business traction overseas

Until next time, B Better!

With global textile waste predicted to hit 140 million tonnes by 2030, we urgently need businesses like Australian start-up Blocktexx.

A clean technology company that recovers polyester and cellulose from textiles and clothing, Blocktexx developed world-first technology to deal with unwanted clothing and textiles thereby diverting them from landfill.

In this episode, Blocktexx cofounder Graham Ross joins Tim to talk about his mission to drive textile and fashion businesses towards sustainability and to influence government circular economy policy.

Listen in to hear

• How Graham moved from media to sustainable sportswear to textile recovery
• How the first business plan for Blocktexx was written on a cafe over glasses of wine with business partner Adrian Jones, formerly of Marks and Spencer
• How they still have that napkin
• How B Corp gave Graham the framework for building a sustainable business and enabled him to hear stories and to learn from other B Corps
• Why they set out to launch a whole new industry - textile resource recovery - not just a new business
• Why Blocktexx is more Model T Ford than Tesla
• The industry surprises Graham discovered on visiting factories in Asia
• How polyester is a goodie and a baddie
• Why entrepreneurs shouldn't aim for perfect

... and a whole lot more.
