Happy International Women's Day! Today, people all over the world are banding together to celebrate the achievements of women, so what better day to put the spotlight on some of our female alumni who are working hard to change the world? Solveiga Pakštaitė founded Mimica Lab, and has developed a bio-reactive food label which will safely and accurately detect when food spoils, adding time to perceived shelf life and stopping waste in its tracks. Karina Sudenyte co-founded Flawsome, making drinks from fruit which would have gone to waste and replacing plastic packaging with sustainable alternatives. Isabella West, founded Hirestreet which is slowing down fast fashion with an online rental platform that is putting a stop to dresses only being worn once. Martina Zupan founded Alterwaste, a company transforming eggshell waste into a resource, making innovative biodegradable products. Show your support for female entrepreneurs today and every day! https://go.shell.com/2H8g2pM
