Background

About Ben Blischke

Passionate about moving towards a regenerative and distributive future In my 15+ years industry experience across design, manufacturing, and sustainability, my biggest tools have been creativity and positivity. Whether innovating a new type of product, or seeking buy-in for difficult environmental topics, an inspiring approach has always served me well to ignite others. I combine this mindset with industry and academic experience, to deliver unique perspectives and methods within the projects I work. In September 2023 I completed my Masters study in Sustainable Development: a two-year course which fortified my beliefs in social justice, a fair/just transition, and a deep understanding of the power interplays at the heart of the sustainability polycrisis. I am a firm believer that the future requires a distributive social approach, and regenerative environmental approach. Passionately pro-nature, I am also an advocate for deeply reducing our use of plastics, and in the power of innovative natural materials. Three of my top books are: Pluriverse: A Post-development Dictionary (Alberto Acosta et al) Doughnut Economics Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist (Kate Raworth) Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things (McDonough & Braungart
