In this episode of Grow With Glo, we sit down with Baptiste Arribe, CEO and co-founder of The New Materialist, a biomaterials design studio based in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
Baptiste shares how his team creates bio-based, non-toxic materials from renewable resources to help industries move away from plastics and synthetics. From experimenting in the lab to scaling materials for real-world production, he explains what it truly takes to design something sustainable.
You’ll hear about unexpected discoveries (including a water-repellent coating made from tomato peels), the mindset needed to build something meaningful, and why knowing your purpose matters before chasing opportunities.
This conversation is about innovation, identity, and building solutions that actually serve people and the planet.
