ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this week's episode, David Culp, COO of Upcycle Fiber joins us to talk about turning discarded textiles into furniture, insulation, and acoustic panels — no frames, no screws, just compressed fiber. We dig into why "pulling" waste into value-added products works better than pushing recycled material uphill, how AI sorting and traceability are shaping the industry's future, and what success looks like when the goal is cleaning up landfills around the world.
