Across markets and industries, builders and manufacturers are achieving remarkable things, taking various product waste streams and redirecting them into new materials. Discarded timber is becoming engineered lumber that is stronger than steel; chemically inert industrial waste is being activated with CO2 to produce low-carbon cement replacement; fungal mycelium is being used to break down organic materials in discarded carpeting to produce feedstocks for other materials, and the list goes on.

These and countless other innovations represent a new, ascendent industrial revolution in which active waste streams become critical feedstocks for the very things human civilization needs to live and prosper.

Hosted by journalist Justin R. Wolf, each half-hour episode of “Waste to Value” features a one-on-one interview with a different manufacturer, technical innovator, or business leader who is charting a regenerative future through restorative means and tangible products.
