This is #6 episode of the podcast 'Show Me Your Actions' where we dive deep into conversations with industry experts on entrepreneurship, circular economy, sustainability and startup life.This time we have a special guest: Eugene Tomilin, co-founder & CTO of S.Lab. Usually far from the spotlight, Eugene is the mind behind S.Lab’s core innovation. In this episode he opens up about how it all started (hint: not in a lab), what it’s like to be a CTO without engineering degree and why he thinks real change starts with stubborn curiosity. Julia and Eugene also talk about building business with your partner, gender bias in fundraising and the future they would like for their kids.--Eugene TomilinJulia BialetskaS.LabS.Lab produces green packaging combining only two plant-based components. By harvesting the strength of agricultural waste and the binding power of mycelium [the network of mushroom roots], S.Lab creates strong and reliable material capable of fully replacing foamed plastic. The material has all the same features as polystyrene in terms of thermal insulation and water resistance, but after the usage it will fully biodegrade in the soil without any trace in 30 days. Today S.Lab has developed its proprietary production technology designed explicitly for plant-based packaging, making it possible to adjust production capacity to meet growing demand.
