Turning waste into worth
From compostable materials to cleaner buildings: what connects these worlds of innovation? In this episode of Business Dialogues, Robert de Jong (Solinatra) and Frank van de Ven (i-team Global) discuss how technology and purpose can accelerate the shift from fossil-based to plant-based solutions.
Robert explains how Solinatra transforms agricultural waste into fully natural, compostable materials that can replace single-use plastics without leaving a trace. Frank reflects on i-team’s mission to make cleaning smarter, greener, and healthier - from water reduction to plant-based cleaning liquids.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why real innovation starts with rethinking materials, not just recycling them
How plant-based technologies can compete with traditional plastics
Why water and energy efficiency are at the core of sustainable impact
How ethics and protection shape innovation in competitive markets
Both leaders show that sustainability is not a side project. It’s the new foundation of business itself.
