  • Is Moringa really a Superfood, with Jacqueline Hansen l 020

    A Greek physician Hippocrates said once said: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” In this week's Startup Playground Podcast you will be able to hear about a "Miracle Tree" called Moringa, which is considered a superfood. There are many extraordinary elements that grow naturally which are able to provide our body with a high capacity of nutrition called a superfood, Moringa is one of them.  Also, Moringa has been used in Indian medicine around 5,000 years ago. Therefore, to understand better this "Miracle Tree", on this episode we hosted Jacqueline Hansen, The co-founder of Roots Food - Startup which is providing consumers with products, which can give them a healthy boost of energy and allow them to be mindful of themselves, their body, and the world around them.


    HOW CAN SUPERFOOD HELP YOU TO BALANCE YOUR DIET?
    You must have heard the word "Superfood" travelled around for quite a bit and must have also heard about all the amazing health benefits, vitamin compounds and antioxidants that each of them contains. However, there is much more to it than that. Superfoods can not only provide you with vitamins and antioxidants but also prevent you from chronic diseases, improve your overall day to day health and some of the superfoods can even prevent you from ageing faster

  • Why is it important to understand the youth, with Jahanzeeb Ahmed l 019

    Goods things happen if you wait and put your words into action. In this weeks episode of Startup Playground Podcast, you are gonna hear about the generation that grew up with the internet, technology and social media, which established a stereotype that they are anti-social, “social justice warriors” and tech addicts. However, to understand better this generation, we have decided to host Gen Z expert and Co-founder of RELEVO., Jahanzeeb Ahmed. A startup that advises companies, non-profits and organisations on understanding the youth.

    WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE YOUTH?

    Understanding the youth has been a growing challenge among companies, organizations and institutions. This is because, with each new generation, the group becomes more complex. You can say that Generation Z, is a product of its environment. Growing up in a digital and globalized era has allowed them to obtain characteristics that no other generation has. In order for the economy to continue in a positive direction, and for companies to understand the needs of their current or soon to be consumers, they must understand the way the youth - lives, breathes and thinks.

    Therefore RELEVO., through its services, bridges the gap by giving insight and data into the youth demographic, both due to the fact that they themselves are part of the targeted audience and through their community.

  • Why upcycling is better choice for environment, with Lili Dreyer l 018

    In this weeks episode of Startup Playground Podcast, you are gonna hear about upcycling. You will be able to understand what is upcycling and why is it a better choice for the environment rather than just throwing your textile waste in a landfill. Therefore, Sweetcast Media hosted Lili Dreyer - Founder of WAIR - a startup aiming to give textile waste a second chance. They don’t see used textiles as waste, but as valuable material, that they can use to make awesome and sustainable footwear.


    WHY UPCYCLING OF TEXTILE WASTE?
    There are many industries that contribute to the environmental problems that the world is currently facing, but few as much as the fashion industry. Despite its pretty facade, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry globally. Fast fashion has resulted in millions of tonnes of resource-intensive textiles being produced for fashion items, only for them to be thrown away after increasingly shorter lifespans. 

    The circular economy is critical in preventing this. Fashion upcycling means transforming textile waste into new products with the same or higher value, and therefore plays an important role in achieving a circular economy. However upcycling is not a widespread practice, which is due to the fact that it is difficult to make scalable and profitable. Wair is here to change that, by giving textile waste a second chance by transforming it into upcycled shoes.
