This month we have the pleasure to introduce you to Manuel Schweizer, the CEO and founder of OceanSafe.

Manuel Schweizer has been working for the textile industry more than 25 years. In 2010 he realized that something was really wrong with the textile industry. Since many years he was working looking for solutions in order to make textiles circular, toxin free and safe for the biological cycle.

We hope that our guest's energy and motivation can motivate you to be part of the change our economy needs.
