SPECIALTIES
We're kicking it off with an amazing first episode featuring Sarah D'Sylva of hyloh. where she discusses with Angela her life as a new mother while running her company as well as how designers are shifting into having sustainable material at the core of their design process with innovation in mind.
Sarah mentions that her view on design has changed the moment she had her daughter because now she looks at design with a higher purpose because whatever product the industry releases today will predict the world that her child will have in the future.

Hyloh is a network of global consultants help organisations with their material and sustainability challenges. Welcome to our bi-monthly Observatory... a unique research methodology that gives our clever researchers than chance to give insight, understanding and perspective on a 1 word brief. This one is ORGANIC. What does organic even mean? What materials earn the description organic? What advancements have we seen in organic recycling?... and... Can anyone guess how many more years of oil reserves we have left in the world? Follow @Hyloh to stay in the know about what we know!
In this video we tackle the topic NOT RECYCLING (yes, it's 2 words... we're rule breakers) we look at the service models, community efforts, design principles and innovative technologies accelerating the circular economy...anything that isn't recycling. Why? Because many are falling into the trap of thinking recycling will save us. It is often framed as the answer to our over production and excessive consumption problems. Unfortunately it is not. As experts in this space we are highlighting the initiatives enabling and encouraging systemic change.
