Stacy Flynn

Stacy Flynn, Founder and CEO of Evernu, is our guest. It is a textiles innovation company looking to take recycled fiber from discarded clothes and give it a new life. Over the course of our conversation, I asked, 1)      How do clothes get from the farm to the retail stores? 2)      How do you innovate in conservative industries, such as textile manufacturing? 3)      Where one starts in building new systems solutions.Now let us listen to how a career that started in fashion and fabrics is now working on recycling and repurposing.Interview by Jimmy Jia (www.jimmyjia.com) Music by Sean Hart (www.seanhart.com)Website: www.leversforchangepodcst.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For the 200th episode of the Spirit of 608 podcast, we had to bring back a special guest, fan favorite, visionary FEST pioneer and all around badass for an update episode looking at what kind of amazing things can happen in a couple years' time. Since the beginning of the Spirit of 608 podcast way back in the fall of 2015 (I know!), we have aimed to inspire, inform and entertain women in FEST so they push on and continue bringing much-needed change to an industry that, while slow to adopt it in the past, is, these days at least, hungrier for it than ever. Listen to this update episode of the Spirit of 608 podcast to hear what happened next for this game-changing guest and her brand, whose entire purpose is to change fashion by creating technology capable of completely transforming textile waste into new fibers and new garments. That in and of itself is cool enough to warrant our FEST-ive fan girling, but when you hear they recently landed $9M in funding, a partnership with Stella McCartney + more, it's hard to not listen to what this fabulous female founder has to say.Re-meet this week's guest, Stacy Flynn, founder and CEO of Evrnu.

Molecular regeneration of garment waste by converting it into a high-quality resource applicable for apparel, home, and industrial end use… Stacy Flynn, CEO & Co-Founder of Evrnu SPC, joins Nataliya Makulova on location at ReMode Conference in Los Angeles. In this episode: Liquifying garment waste to a polymer level and turn into new clothing How the company was started in 2014  because a solution was needed that make a dent in apparel industry sustainability issues Why the process is like making pasta - push the materials through a dial that looks like a shower head Working with cotton, and how consumers throw away 80% of textiles into the garbage can A new fiber is recoverable stretch fabric Easy to recover and reuse stretch fiber (traditionally not as circular, difficult to break down) Thinking about what happens to a product after someone is done using it Allowing the apparel industry to grow while reducing ecological impact How it is very scary starting a business and putting everything in, especially when there is no example for people to imagine what this is and whether it can be successful Riding the waves of great day terrible day, great day terrible day How Evrnu is now accepted by incredible brands and investors are taking a chance on them Making money working with apparel brands and retailers to develop concept garments—as an outside R and D company to build products that outperform what virgin materials could do on their own Technology licensing, and the ability to quickly scale Use existing waste supply chain, closing the loop, creating disruption in the industry Not bypassing re-use channels See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Transforming textile waste into pristine new fiber at a molecular level… Stacy Flynn, CEO/Co-founder of EVRNU (fiber technology transforms textile waste into pristine new fiber. Evrnu has invented the only regenerative fiber made from post-consumer textile waste) joins “Fashion Is Your Business” hosts Pavan Bahl, Rob Sanchez, and Marc Raco at the 2017 WEAR Conference in San Francisco. Powered by Sennheiser. (Flynn’s profile) A wake up call, impacting the system’s lynch pin, and a prototype Flynn shares how working in a cloud of pollution gave her a wake up call, realizing a generation of kids who don’t see blue sky, realizing she was linked to the cause of the problem, and how 90% of all clothing is made from clothing or polyester, and we throw away 14 million tons of clothing waste a year in the US alone. She discusses the goal of taking waste and turning it into high quality fiber, impacting the lynch pin of the system, and how the surprising result turned out versatile and beautiful The vision of intervention with minimal disruption, how the first prototype took a t-shirt from solid to liquid to a solid, and the journey of how Target signed on as an early adopter. The holy grail of transformation, early adopters, and micro-manufacturing models Separating cotton and polyester on a molecunetorking lar level, how the holy grail is taking a blended garment, liquefying it, separating it then using the individual components, and new processes vs. repurposing existing processes. How the process is actually shapeshifting material, realigning molecules, and the process of pushing through spinnerette determines the final qualities. Samples, licensing, early adopters Levis, Target and seven more not public, and how marketing campaigns need proof now. The difficult truth that a colored t-shirt requires 700 gallons of water to make, helping brands with sell-through rates and sustainability, and why the ability to network helps now, looking at micro-manufacturing models, with small manufacturers linked together to become power manufacturing chains as a localized, globalized model. Reciprocity, the human spirit, and the Redwoods Finding ways to build business, saving the environment while honoring designs. The three part adopter program, and how reciprocity creates human solidarity. There is no algorithm on the power of the human spirit to solve a really big problem. And Off the Grid Questions covers the Redwoods, a heavy moment, and accidental eyebrow shaving.
