Disruptors for GOOD | Social Entrepreneurs and Social Enterprises

Heather Mcdougall is the co-founder and CEO of the sustainable toothbrush company Bogobrush. BogoBrush is rethinking the toothbrush with a sustainable and eco-designed toothbrushes made entirely in the USA. The plastics in almost all toothbrushes are non-recyclable, meaning over 450 million toothbrushes a year in the U.S. alone end up in landfills. These products are either bio-degradable or made from nearly 100% recycled plastic. When you’re done, throw them in your compost or recycle bin—and nature will do its thing. Heather has a degree in political science and communication and law degree from Mitchell Hamline School of Law.

• Why think tanks are important for formulating your idea
• Sustainable materials and sustainable design
• Coffee waste, hemp waste, plastic waste, cotton waste
• China manufacturing/supply chain vs US manufacturing/supply chain
• Raising money for a socially conscious startup
