Florent Baraban is an optician and glasses maker who is giving a second life to skateboards by recycling them into glasses, pens, and much more. Whether you’re a skateboarding fan or not, you’ll be impressed with how each step of the process is carefully thought of to minimise waste. Find out how the idea came to this talented young man with so much passion and care for the planet. You’ll also understand why his brand is called 7Plis. A truly interesting and inspiring episode!
