In this week’s episode of Sustain Talks, I am talking to Megan Eddings whose husband’s stinky running shirts inspired her entrepreneurship journey by using her biochemistry background to produce sustainable apparel and fabrics. She is the Founder and CEO of Accel Unite and Accel Lifestyle and has a huge enthusiasm for life and business.   The importance of a sustainable environment cannot be overstated; nonetheless, the growing global population and consumerism generate massive amounts of rubbish in the environment. Megan tells us that some healthcare facilities in the United States use 12-15,000 disposable plastic gowns each day, disposed of in landfills.    It’s time for businesses to speed up and become more ecologically friendly.    Megan tells us about her business experience with biodegradable packaging and reusable medical gowns, as well as how she diversified her business during the Covid-19 pandemic and how she learned how to be socially responsible.
