U-Earth Biotech’s Post

One of the reasons why Sustainable Jobs was created was because of the storytelling. From studying Pre-Med at UC Berkeley to then going into Fashion Design School and then later to becoming a chemist, it’s always interesting to hear the stories of how individuals landed at sustainability companies. Jenna Arkin, Chief Innovation Officer, shares with us about her unique journey from wanting to use both her creative and logical thinking skills to mix the passions she’s had for her career. It has made me reflect that as a creative myself I’ve always had a passion to tell stories but also design ways of how businesses are communicating their knowledge. Do you know someone who has also struggled to enter the sustainability industry or know if anyone looking to switch? #sustainability #greenjobs #climatetech #climatetechnology

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room.  There is no infinite growth on a finite planet. We need to consume and produce less to stay within planetary boundaries.  During my internship at The Sustainability Club , I worked on a toolkit for fashion brands, companies, and other consultancies interested in the topic of Post-Growth. How can we do less? What is can we do if the best option is actually to do nothing at all? What strategies are out there to start a degrowth transformation? All of these and many more questions are answered within the report, which is now available as a free download: https://lnkd.in/ev6cudAZ It is my full pride so have a look at it!’t

I need your help 👀♻️ I’d love to start studying a sustainability course to grow my knowledge in this area! Course topics must include the fashion industry & this must be a course that can be studied part time alongside full time employment. A certification would be a bonus but not necessary, as this is for personal interest & development only! Has anyone got recommendations for courses that are on offer or experience in studying one yourself? Would love to hear from you! ✉️ #sustainability #knowledge #course

Searching for a job in my home country keeps me busy these days. Overall, I find it interesting as I am discovering new companies I wasn't aware of. However, today, while browsing a company to understand what they do and their perspective on sustainability, I came across something I needed to share. Please check the screenshot. This company helps other businesses increase the efficiency of their equipment, advise on product design improvements, etc. GOOD initiatives. But then, while reading an article on their website titled "TOP MARKETING DRIVERS," I noticed "SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS" listed as one of the drivers. Interesting. Yet, as I read further, I couldn't help but feel a bit irritated. Do we "need to" make sustainability efforts because of "market pressure," "marketing wants that," and a desire to "retain and gain customers who are increasingly opting for sustainable packaging solutions"? I am glad to see that customers and marketing departments are pushing businesses to include sustainability in their strategies. But if these are the main reasons, then I would argue that there is something wrong with those leading businesses... It seems to me that some companies are still stuck in an outdated mindset, ignoring the current challenges we face... or am I too negative today?

So, the job hunt has begun. In my cover letter for an application today, I shared my vision for a Sustainability role in the hospitality industry: "I believe it should embrace the people heritage of the industry and take a people-centred approach. For instance, plastic recycling should not just stop at when they are collected and represented by a number on the report card. But the results can be further communicated to stakeholders such as in the form of slippers made by recycled PET, and the process can also be shared with them at the collection point, with visuals and kid’s friendly version." Having said that, I am thrilled to push sustainability investment beyond a bottom-line decision, to help companies develop their sustainable product or service. I am ready to embark from Jan 2024 onwards. If you know an opportunity, please give a shout 😇 #corporatesustainability #class2024 #jobhunting #peoplecentredapproach

The fashion industry is one of the most polluting sectors in the world, second only to oil. No surprise here, we all heard it. However..... The industry is also on a slow but transformative journey towards sustainability with some great pioneers. One key aspect is the adoption of sustainable materials. Here are some sustainable materials making waves: 🌿 Recycled Polyester: Made from post-consumer plastic bottles, recycled polyester reduces plastic waste and lowers the carbon footprint. 🌿 Piñatex: Derived from pineapple leaf fibers, Piñatex offers a stylish, cruelty-free alternative to leather while supporting rural communities. 🌿 Econyl: Econyl is regenerated nylon created from discarded fishing nets and industrial waste, reducing ocean pollution and resource consumption. 🌿Mushroom Leather (Mycelium): A biodegradable alternative to leather, mycelium-based materials are grown from fungi. 🌿 Bamboo Fabric: Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource, and its fibers produce soft, breathable, and sustainable fabrics. 🛣 Are you interested in curving a successful career path in this area? Then our Sustainability Career Lab programme is the best choice for you.
