What we discuss with Mirella Civardi

Circular economy and sustainability are critical issues for people and companies. In this special episode, Mirella Civardi and I discuss the path to creating an innovative polypropylene fabric.

Mirella Civardi is the CTO of Policlinico San Matteo in Pavia and co-founder of RespectLife. She tells us about the difficulties faced by her project, which was born during the pandemic. Then she explains the characteristics that make the material reusable in clinical (but not only) settings. And finally, we try to understand why her idea has been so successful in a short time.

In the interview, we also discuss new circular economy models, the need for sustainable production, the importance of research, and the know-how required to design a new technology from waste material.

Finally, our guest Mirella Civardi gives three actionable insights to our listeners on preparing for future technological opportunities.
