#82: E-waste Revolution with Austin Turpin

In this episode of Life on Planet A, we sit down with Austin
Turpin, the innovative founder of FlipTech, a start-up tackling
one of the planet’s fastest-growing environmental issues:
electronic waste. Austin walks us through the inspiration behind
the company and the e-waste problem it aims to solve.


We explore why e-waste matters — the environmental harm,
greenhouse gas emissions, and the precious materials being
discarded — and dig into the regulatory landscape in Australia,
including how it compares to international standards. Austin
shares the challenges he’s faced as a founder, his proudest
milestones, and the leadership traits that have helped him
thrive.


Whether you're a sustainability enthusiast, a budding
entrepreneur, or just curious about what happens to your old
electronics, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at
how innovative thinking can turn a problem into purpose.
