96. Balancing Fabric Performance and Sustainability with Theresa McKenney
About this episode
In episode 96 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we discuss how one company is making waves in the outdoor industry through new product innovations and pioneering a circular production model. Most of our discussion revolves around a new proprietary fabric and upcoming product innovations from the Nemo Equipment team. To explain how they’ve achieved all this and more, I had the pleasure of hosting Theresa McKenney.
Theresa is the Director of Sustainability at NEMO Equipment, an innovative gear brand based in Dover, New Hampshire. When she’s not deep in a spreadsheet or hiking a trail, Theresa enjoys playing piano and fiddle with the Boston Scottish Fiddle Orchestra.
