Ann Pham - Reducing single plastic use by turning banana leaves into plates and cutlery!

In this interview, I speak to Ann Pham about how she went from
seeing a massive problem in the world of single use plastics, and
how she took action to get started.


She speaks directly about her experience with the Hacker Exchange
- a program where she travelled to San Francisco to learn about
startups. It was there she learned about rapid prototyping and
getting her product out to the world quickly.


We talk about:


How she built her initial prototype (hint: it involves a car)

Her journey to finding a manufacturer

The problem she's solving by providing single use banana leaf
plates



I hope you enjoy the episode!
