In relentless pursuit of making things better, Kate Reimann, a military spouse, has focused her efforts on revolutionizing a product she’s found discarded on her favorite beaches and washed out to sea one too many times. Plastic at the beach never sat well with her, and in 2016 she decided it was time to make it better. From starting this journey by prototyping in her kitchen using mushroom-based material to using a plant-based filament and 3D printing prototypes from her home office, Kate is on a mission to create better products using better materials. She’s not stopping at the beach. Her ultimate goal is to change the way we make – and buy – products. These beach toys are just the start of her vision for making conventional plastic obsolete. During the show we will talk about Rogue Wave's mission, goals, accomplishments as well as challenges of running her small business. The host for this episode is Dennis Kwak. The
