In this eye-opening episode, Simon Nash—the inventor of the UK’s first biolubricant made from 100% recycled plastics—reveals how capitalism and simple regulations could revolutionise sustainability without costing the earth (or your wallet).Simon shares how a small bike lubricant project in 2010 forgoing harmful chemicals and plastic bottles sparked a wider movement towards eco-friendly products. He discusses concrete strategies like taxing plastics with recycled content and enforcing transparency laws that prevent greenwashing—showing how governments can turn subtle policy tweaks into sweeping environmental wins.

Simon's insights offer a blueprint for anyone who believes our planet’s future depends on smarter, more ethical innovation.Perfect for entrepreneurs, activists, or anyone eager to understand how real change happens—this conversation proves that with the right policies, small innovations, and collective will, we can build an economy that prioritises the planet’s health while empowering our future generations.
