Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E297 That Great Business Show - She gave her company to the staff - Joan McCoy, White Ink Architects
Q: Joan, be honest, did you actually give your business away?
The business now belongs to the employees through the trust, though I remain a director; the ownership is held by the employees via the trust, not by any single individual.
E295 That Great Business Show - Rihanna’s Knickers to Clinical Waste, a €27 Billion Opportunity - Lisa O'Riordan
Q: What is your pitch for your products in short?
We make impossible PPE, including compostable foot covers, hair nets, beard nets, and single-use aprons, produced in Cork, with a clear path to full circularity and scalable deployment across healthcare and beyond.
E293 That Great Business Show - Why we could soon be eating grass - Enda Buckley, Carbery Group
Q: What's the biggest hurdle to scaling these biorefineries in Ireland?
The main obstacles are capex for AD plants and the need for policy signals like a feed-in tariff to trigger investment and project finance, which Denmark and other countries have used effectively.
E293 That Great Business Show - Why we could soon be eating grass - Enda Buckley, Carbery Group
Q: What does grass biorefining actually involve on a practical level?
Grass is processed in a biorefinery to separate liquid and solid fractions, producing protein-like components, prebiotics, and other value-added streams such as grass whey for anaerobic digestion.
E293 That Great Business Show - Why we could soon be eating grass - Enda Buckley, Carbery Group
Q: So are you saying we're going to be eating grass finally?
Potentially yes, it could happen in the next five to ten years, with grass-derived protein becoming a more common part of our diet and feedstocks.
