“Education actually plays a large role in this in both terms of consumers making better choices and brands offering better choices.” 

Uddhav Bagrodia ’21 is the co-founder and president of Wastewear Inc., the venture he launched as a Babson College student to create apparel and accessories by utilizing recycled textile waste. 

He discusses the challenges and successes of innovative sustainability solutions in the fifth episode of “From Problems to Possibilities: Entrepreneurial Leadership in Action,” Babson’s new podcast. 

The new episode, titled “Do Well by Doing Good: The Stuff in Sustainability,” explores sustainability in consumer goods and the entrepreneurial leaders who are reimagining processes and a more sustainable future, while creating tangible and intangible benefits. On the episode, Bagrodia is joined by Brigitte Muehlmann, Babson College professor of accounting, and Sam Herec MBA’24, vice president of product and sustainability at Tivoli Audio
