Turning Food Waste into Stretch Wrap: Jordy & Julia Kay from Great Wrap | EP04 Pitchfest 2021 Series
Listen now
Description
Julia and Jordy Kay are the founders of Great Wrap, an Australian startup tackling the enormous problem of plastic pollution and waste generated by the stretch wrap industry. Great Wrap replaces petroleum based stretch wrap with a compostable alternative derived from food waste. Great Wrap were the 2nd Runners Up in The Ocean Impact Pitchfest 2021. Julia and Jordy weren’t always ocean impact entrepreneurs - Julia is an architect and Jordy was a winemaker before they both leapt into the world of compostable stretch wrap and the range of applications they are pioneering for transport/ shipping, hospitality and home uses. In this episode, Jordy and Julia inspire us with their down-to-earth attitudes and commitment to innovation in order to protect Planet Ocean. They share insights into their significant growth over a short period, their openness to help other startups and founders, and their plans for the future - including their expansion into the US.
