What if saying goodbye could bring new life?

In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, we’re joined by Aura Murillo and Louise Skajem, co-founders of Resting Reef, the death care innovators transforming ashes into living reef memorials that restore marine ecosystems.

From deeply personal experiences of grief to award-winning design research at Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art, Aura and Louise share the journey that led them to reimagine how we commemorate life, not with headstones and graveyards, but with thriving ocean habitats.

It’s a poetic, powerful, and practical conversation about redesigning tradition, healing grief, and restoring the oceans.

👉 Meet Resting Reef at Blue Earth Summit, 15–17 October, London

In this episode, Tom, co-founder of Climate Acceptance Studios (CAS), explains why the people doing the most important climate and nature work often aren’t seen: their stories aren’t being filmed. CAS is changing that. Freshly joined to Blue Earth Ventures and opening a £550,000 raise, they’re building a scalable model to put video at the heart of climate action, and they’ll be exhibiting at Blue Earth Summit, 15–17 Oct (London).

We unpack how CAS blends cinema-quality on-site filming with a 4K smartphone-to-editor virtual studio so organisations can ship weekly, high-impact content without heavy lifts. Tom shares why this works (capture in the moment, expert editing, comms-team control), the evidence base behind effective climate storytelling, and case studies from We Mean Business Coalition, Big Shift Global, and the Green Climate Fund.

In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, we sit down with Will Boex, co-founder and CEO of Flexi-He, a Cornish business on a mission to eliminate single-use plastics from packaging. What started as two brothers designing a plastic-free sleeve to protect their surfboards has since evolved into a patented honeycomb paper solution now used by leading drinks brands, wellness companies, and beyond.

Will shares the origin story, from that first “eureka” moment in a car park to scaling a business that sold over 3 million sleeves last year. We explore the challenges of disrupting a traditional industry, why customer experience matters as much as sustainability, and how Flexi-Hex is entering a new phase of growth as they raise £850,000 with Blue Earth Ventures.

It’s a story of design thinking, mission-driven innovation, and how a love of the sea sparked a solution with the potential to reshape global packaging.

From a university friendship in Newcastle to a flagship store in Covent Garden, Batch Ldn founders Sam Matanle and Julian Osborne are rewriting the rules of fashion. In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, they share how they spotted a gap in the market for the casual suit, built a made-to-order model that eliminates overproduction, and grew a cult following without spending a penny on paid ads.

We dive into:

• Why price and quality (not just sustainability) win customers
• How celebrity endorsements and sports partnerships fuel their brand
• The challenges — and advantages — of growing without stock
• Their current £600k raise and vision for scaling globally

Whether you’re into fashion, entrepreneurship, or innovative business models that put planet and profit side by side, this conversation is packed with insight, humour, and practical lessons from two founders who are doing things differently.
