Imagine you’re in England and walk into a vegan restaurant. While looking at the menu, you notice that each dish shows its carbon footprint. You’re thinking about ordering a hamburger, but see that the beef burger’s carbon emissions are a whopping 3 kilos! Or, ten times the amount of the vegan alternative. Would you still order the beef burger?

This episode isn’t about going vegan, but rather, the rapid and high consumption of electronics and one man’s journey to simplify the supply chain of second hand products. AKA: The circular economy.

In this conversation, we learn how French startup founder Reynold Simonnet was forced to decide if he should buy the company that employed him (it was bankrupt), how he turned things around by focusing on B2B instead of B2C, and other interesting things like the time he was a driver for a top ten futbol player.
