For Everybody In the Pool's first anniversary, Molly Wood looks back at one innovative company that made a huge impression last year.

We re-air a fascinating episode featuring Manuela Zoninstein, CEO and founder of Kadeya. Kadeya is revolutionizing the beverage industry by eliminating single-use containers. Their unique system dispenses reusable stainless steel bottles filled with filtered local tap water. After use, these bottles are returned to the machine for washing, sanitizing, and refilling, creating a sustainable closed-loop system.

Manuela shares her journey and the innovative concept behind Kadeya, highlighting how the company addresses the waste problem with this groundbreaking solution. She also discusses the challenges of scaling the business and the significant positive environmental impact Kadeya has achieved through its pioneering circular economy model.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The innovative concept behind Kadeya and how it works
• Manuela's journey and inspiration for tackling the waste problem
• The environmental impact of Kadeya's system and its carbon footprint reduction
• The unexpected success in markets like construction sites and Air Force bases
