**Two Notes about these Lab Roundtables: **
1. There are two parts to this Lab with a refreshing break in between.
2. If you plan on attending, please refrain from bopping out mid-session. These Roundtables are meant for attendees to hunker down and find solutions. It is not a drop-in.
Checkerspot is designing with biology to create bio-based performance materials and products. Trouble is, many factories are a black box and are resistant to adopting new materials. Brands are hungry to differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace and companies need to meet aggressive ESG goals. And, now more than ever, consumers are demanding more sustainable alternatives but what happens when adoption of these alternatives, especially in big, global factories, remains slow and muddy?
Join Checkerspot leaders, hand-selected experts, & other See-Changers in a series of collaborative Labs as they unearth the challenges behind integrating sustainable materials into factories, discover what it takes to build transparent relationships with factory stakeholders, and how some smaller and more flexible microfactories might be the future of manufacturing.
