Ignite Series 006: Eben Bayer

The Ignite Series is a monthly interview of an artist, creator, or community organizer whose passion has inspired us. In honor of its subject, we create a collectible piece of matchbox art for our subscribers.

 

Eben Bayer has developed a solution to the global plastic waste crisis. Growing up on a farm and studying engineering, he developed a dual lens of looking at the world that led him to a key insight: nature gives us the answers. By using the forces of biology, his company Ecovative Design is creating technologies to replace petro-chemical based products with biodegradable ones—from packaging to construction and fashion.

In honor of the launch of our packaging partnership with Ecovative, we sat down for a conversation with him, spanning sustainable design, off-grid living, the sweet spot of intersection between art and science and more.

If you enjoyed this article, you might enjoy our not-quite-weekly free newsletter where we share our lessons on our journey toward our regenerative vision, product launches, and behind-the-scenes happenings.

We left social media in 2021 because we found its current mechanics didn’t align with our purpose to facilitate connection to the natural world, our loved ones, and our own spirits. Since then, our newsletter has become a vibrant place for healthy conversation around topics ranging from alternative business ownership models to happy hour cocktail recipes.

Join our free newsletter to be the first to hear about newly available scented candles, special events, and more.
