3. How to Identify Sustainable Product Materials with Mary Swanson

3. How to Identify Sustainable Product Materials with Mary Swanson

In episode 3 of the Outdoor Minimalist Podcast, I will be discussing how consumers and brands can take steps to identify more sustainable product materials. This is a big topic that I felt was best discussed with an industry expert like Mary Swanson.

Mary is the CEO and a co-founder of Lava Linens. Together, she, her mom, Sheila, and sister, Caitlin, create durable, luxurious adventure towels powered by flax and hemp - two of Earth's most impressive fibers. Lava Linens' aim is to be as sustainable and responsible as possible - not succumbing to the pressures of fast fashion nor to the norms of the outdoor industry while still creating high-performing, valuable pieces of outdoor gear.
