Episode 45: The Future of Sustainable Innovation with Ecovyst

How does one develop innovative products that meet customers’ needs while also having a positive impact on the environment? And how can businesses blend those two ideals into a financially beneficial outcome for everyone involved?

Today we’re continuing conversation we’ve started with Ecovyst last week. This time however, we’re focusing on the future of sustainable innovation as a whole, and how they carry it out in their business. Jumping right into the heart of the matter is today’s guest, Paul Robbins, Vice President for Silica Catalyst, Ecovyst’s sister company. Join us as we dive into the world of sustainable developments and the hugely impactful role Ecovyst is playing behind the scenes.
