#7 Why it’s time to think circular and close the loop in the beauty industry - with Jo Chidley
Manage episode 305643613 series 2935428
This week on Start Somewhere, I’m bringing a flavour of Glasgow ahead of COP26 as I speak with the trailblazing Jo Chidley. Jo is a circular economy expert, chemist, herbal botanist and co-founder of Beauty Kitchen, the highest scoring B Corp in the UK beauty industry. I’m also lucky enough to work with Jo on the Sustainable Beauty Coalition Steering Committee.
In founding Beauty Kitchen, Jo has set out to change the face of the beauty industry by creating the most effective, natural and sustainable beauty products in the world. She has been instrumental in developing the world’s first closed-loop solution for beauty packaging and has powered the service behind the ground-breaking Return, Refill, Repeat programme & Refill Stations. A true testament to Jo’s determination and vision, Beauty Kitchen is recognised on the UK’s 50 Most Disruptive Companies list and has won numerous industry awards, including ‘Who’s Who in Natural Beauty’.
In this brilliant episode, we discuss why it’s time to turn, or rather, return to a circular economy, how Jo is championing the entire industry to do better and close the loop, and what her plans are for COP26 and beyond.
The ask: Starting Somewhere is asking yourself the question ‘what is it for?’
