Through it's evolution, Caue and his team have always stayed true to their commitment of putting people and planet first through it's partnerships with farmers and indigenous communities in the Amazon. Since Barnana was founded, they have upcycled over 100 million bananas into healthy, delicious snacks which are available nationwide. In this episode Caue and I discover how many things we have in common, what it means to build a company with a triple bottom line, and the literal definition of gorilla marketing!
And as our way of continuing to celebrate Earth Day we put together the first ever "Barnana - Too Good To Waste" quiz. Take the quiz to test your Barnana and Upcycling knowledge, and you'll be automatically entered to win an amazing prize package!
