We have a winner! Paige Fashoni has won our latest Smarter Future Award for her ground-breaking start-up, FLUX Undies! The plastic generated by female hygiene products is a growing issue, with disposable sanitary products taking up to 500 years to decompose. But what is the solution? Paige’s business offers women a sustainable alternative to standard sanitary products, preventing huge amounts of plastic waste. Congratulations Paige and welcome to the Shell LiveWIRE alumni! https://go.shell.com/2JwolwH

‘We’ve really come to see the value of any mistakes made in the company, they’re fantastic learning material.’ LettUs Grow have earned huge success in the last year, raising over a million pounds of funding since their Shell LiveWIRE Smarter Future Award win in March 2018. We caught up with the start-up that’s revolutionising vertical farming using aeroponic technology, to find out how they’re doing and the valuable lessons they’ve learned on their journey to create a resilient food system. https://go.shell.com/2JuUFiv
