Recently, they were chosen as a Solve - MIT Global Finalist for their proposal of converting coffee grounds into high value, natural oils. For their innovation, Revive-Eco received the LiveWIRE Smarter Future Award in 2016, a Green Champion Award from the Glasgow Business Awards in 2017, a grant from Zero Waste Scotland’s Circular Economy Investment Fund in 2018, and recently they were semi-finalists in the Chivas Venture Final in 2019, for which they received $20,000 in prize money.</p>\n<p>Please subscribe to the Sustainability Matters Today podcast to learn about other champions of sustainability like Fergus.</p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy this episode!</p>\n<p><u><strong>Resources</strong></u></p>\n<p>Palm Oil: <a href=\"https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oil\"><u>wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oil</u></a></p>\n<p>Palmitic Acid: <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitic_acid\"><u>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitic_acid</u></a></p>\n<p>Linoleic Acid: <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid\"><u>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid</u></a></p>\n<p>Oleic Acid: <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleic_acid\"><u>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleic_acid</u></a></p>\n<p>Stearic Acid: <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stearic_acid\"><u>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stearic_acid</u></a></p>\n<p>Circular Economy: <a href=\"https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy/concept\"><u>ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy/concept</u></a></p>\n<p>Ellen Macarthur Foundation: <a href=\"https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/\"><u>ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/</u></a></p>\n<p>Iceland palm oil advert: <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA10-oZi4Xc\"><u>youtube.com/watch?v=oA10-oZi4Xc</u></a></p>\n<p>Gabe Brown’s SMT Episode: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/gabe-brown-SMT\"><u>bit.ly/gabe-brown-SMT</u></a></p>\n<p>May Al Karooni’s SMT Episode: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/MayAlKarooniSMT\"><u>bit.ly/MayAlKarooniSMT</u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>You can read the transcript of this episode here: <a href=\"http://bit.ly/Fergus_Moore_SMT\">http://bit.ly/Fergus_Moore_SMT</a></p>","author_name":"Daniel Hartz"}
