Bringing Sustainability To The Fashion World - A Chat With Queen of Raw's Stephanie Benedetto and Phil Derasmo

When we think of the world of fashion, sustainability is one of the last words we'd associate with it.However, Queen of Raw wants to change that. Queen of Raw has built a software platform to help organisations discover, buy, and sell material that would otherwise go to landfill, or be burned. Given that around $120 billion of material is wasted annually, there's a huge potential for savings.I invited Stephanie Benedetto and Phil Derasmo, Queen of Raw's CEO and COO/CTO respectively (and the company co-founders) to come on the podcast to tell me how they're cleaning up fashion's supply chain.We had an excellent conversation and, as is often the case, I learned loads, I hope you do too...If you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.
