Is Samsara Eco Australia’s most exciting climate startup? With enzymes that literally eat plastic, it’s hard to disagree!
Nick and Alex chat with Paul Riley of Samsara Eco, a Canberra based company that has raised ~$60 million to tackle one of the biggest problems of all: plastic recycling.
It’s a tangible, challenging and very current problem in Australia, so we loved diving into all the issues with Paul, understanding more about how the technology works and how Samsara Eco is positioned to be a global leader.
