    First post from The ReAssembly! Lots of great content to come. We begin by reflecting on the impactful convergence of minds and ideas at The ReAssembly, powered by Regeneration.VC. Nearly one thousand solutionists from business, government, and philanthropic sectors gathered to explore ambitious, collaborative pathways toward a sustainable future.?Dr. Vanessa Z Chan of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) set the stage, emphasizing the importance of Public-Private Partnerships and bipartisan policies in unlocking billions for low-carbon infrastructure and climate technologies. Philanthropic powerhouses Nat Simons and Niklas Adalberth highlighted the potential of strategic investing to catalyze systemic change. Justin Winters (One Earth) and Bradley Smith (One Small Planet) unveiled a roadmap for directing capital toward nature-based solutions, introducing frameworks such as Bioregions and the Global Safety Net. John Felts, CEO of Cruz Foam, along with Sarah Luisi, VP of Strategic Sourcing and Operations at LVMH North America, and Kaley Roshitsh from Casales, explored the realm of circular supply chains and the initiatives LVMH is undertaking to transition to more sustainable materials. CALSTART, Maersk Growth, and Bezos Earth Fund dove into decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors.?Ambition Loop convened runway for Change to illuminate innovation, culture, and transformation within apparel.?From renewable energy in textile mills to biomaterials on the catwalk, leaders like PANGAIA and Patagonia demonstrated how collaboration can create a greener future for fashion. As night fell,?we welcomed Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley, who gave a powerful sermon on the importance of this moment and the absolute need to unite to keep our planet moving.?We saw the world satellite imaged in a higher resolution courtesy of Gabe Dominocielo of Umbra and dove into conservation upgraded with Robin Moore of Re:wild.?We welcomed the?inspiring?and hilarious Rainn Wilson and Molly Voss of Climate Basecamp, who spoke about the power of entertainment and storytelling in accelerating #climatesolutions, as well as Chuck Tatham, creator of Modern Family, who laid out a vision to bring climate communication into the shows and content of pop culture.

    'The rapid rise in e-commerce, and the resulting increase in B2C shipping, has revolutionized how consumers receive products. However, this convenience has come at a significant environmental cost, with packaging waste a primary concern. Single-use plastics, often used for protective packaging, are a major contributor to pollution and resource depletion...Redesigning and rethinking sustainable shipping packaging for environmental impact can be vital in addressing these issues.'

    From Food & Wine - "It’s hard to have food without foam. In order to ship any temperature-sensitive item to your home, the product needs to use a cold-chain solution, which has largely been Styrofoam despite it being a disaster for the environment. Enter @cruzfoam, a company founded in 2017 by a group of surfers with the purpose of cleaning up the ocean by removing single-use plastic from the mainstream business supply chain. Cruz Foam is made up of upcycled food waste that has been diverted from landfills along with chitin, a biopolymer derived from shellfish exoskeletons. This makeup allows Cruz Foam to decompose in less than 100 days, compared to Styrofoam’s 500 years.

    We collaborated with Reencle, an LA-based countertop composting company, to see how Cruz Foam packaging would perform when thrown in their machine with other food scraps for composting! The results are fascinating, check it out!?????? #packagingforthefuture

    We are constantly testing compostable products to see how well they break down in our machines. ?? Cruz Foam is a styrofoam substitute that we are testing to see if it can protect our home units during shipment. We also want to know if our customers can put it in their units to decompose. The results are impressive. #sustainability #compost #soilhealth

    A note from Cruz Foam CEO, John Felts on the blog- ‘Last week I attended an event hosted by one of our investors, the climate impact investment group, Regeneration VC. As the answers to our climate and pollution problems seem in disarray, The ReAssembly convened solutionists to bring the pieces back together. As part of the event, I was invited to keynote and share a bit about our work here at Cruz Foam, as well as introduce guest speaker Sarah Luisi, Vice President of Group Strategic Sourcing & Operations America’s Sustainable & Responsible Sourcing, LVMH Americas. “Cruz Foam isn’t packaging”. Packaging is the problem we are working to solve. Our deep technology solutions eliminate the need for these forever materials. Our belief is that we can create incredible things in harmony with nature, rather than destroying it, and in doing so redefine our relationship with life on this planet.’ Check out the full post here: https://bit.ly/3ZIbGgf
