This week on #TheStream, Will and Tom are joined by Manuela Zoninsine, CEO & Founder of Kadeya, a closed-loop water vending service powered by digitally-connected reusable water bottles and mini bottling stations. 

Find out about Manuela’s early experience as a journalist, being based in China ahead of the Olympic Games and why this helped to harness her critical thinking.

Plus: 

Manuela talks about the need to rethink hydration, particularly in workplaces around the world and the reason to couple this with increased data

The need to develop a business model to eliminate single-use plastics

 And finally, Manuela talks about investment, how the multinationals are viewing potential disruption to their market and also scaling.

And much, much more! We hope you enjoy the episode.
