Mushroom Roads are No Longer for Video Games and Movies

Season 3 · Episode 3

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 30:48

What if I told you mushrooms could be used to build roads?

In this episode, we’ll introduce you to the people who are taking this idea from just a fantasy for video games and movies to a real technology that’s reducing pollutants and making construction more sustainable.

Line Kloster Pedersen is the founder of Visibuilt. The idea for mushroom roads first struck her while she was on a hike. Then Line had to figure out how to create her fungi binder and solve many of the hurdles of being a small startup company.

Luckily she found a life science incubator called the BioInnovation Institute and its Director of Planetary Health, Christian Brix Tillegreen. The institute helps biotech startups, like Visibuilt, solve their hurdles by providing research centers and funding programs.

The Social Value of Tea

Season 2 · Episode 14

Monday, May 20, 2024 • Duration 26:41

Ordinary office supplies can have a value far beyond their cost and everyday use. Big organizations have whole teams tasked with procurement - the purchasing of items necessary for them to do business. If those teams take into account the social impact of the items they buy the process becomes social procurement.

The tea in your office kitchen is a great example. If it’s from NEMI Teas, it’s not just providing you with your afternoon pick me up it’s also helping a refugee find a job and integrate into society. Pranav Chopra is the founder of NEMI Teas and one of today’s Better Heroes.

Our other guests are Alexandra van der Ploeg, Head of Corporate and Social Responsibility at SAP, and Theresa Harrison, EY Global Environmental Social Governance Services Leader. Both EY and SAP have signed up to the Social Enterprise UK ‘Buy Social Corporate Challenge’ – which is a group of high-profile businesses aiming to collectively spend £1 billion with social enterprises through their procurement in the UK.

Learn more about Alexandra here. Learn more about Theresa here. Learn more about Pranav here.
