COLLAB: Repurposing waste for global impact with Julia & Jordy Kay

This week we bring you another evokeAG x Humans of Agriculture collaboration podcast, with Oli Le Lievre.

Oli catches up with Julia and Jordy Kaye, the founders of greatwrap, a Victorian based startup creating a biodegradable alternative to petroleum based plastic wraps using potato waste to replace plastic cling wrap in kitchens and on industrial pallets.

The circular economy business has attracted serious interest from investors, raising a $24 million Series A round in July 2022, including an $11 million equity portion. The funding has helped great rap to launch into us and scale up production in Australia with a bio refinery capable of manufacturing 30,000 tonnes of wrap, making great Wrap Australia's largest cling wrap manufacturer.

In this conversation, Oli speaks to Julia and Jordy about how an idea over a bottle of wine turned into a business that is set to shake up the plastic wrap industry.

We hope you enjoy this conversation.
