In episode six of @AuManufacturing Conversations with Brent Balinski, we speak to Jess Hodge, co-founder at the husband-and-wife-led startup Resourceful Living.
Resourceful Living gives discarded PE plastics many more years of usefulness as products including home signage, office furniture and more.
The Hodges were inspired to start their recycling business by a sunrise walk along a beach on their Thailand honeymoon. After a bit of saving, they eventually began Resourceful Living in 2021, with an official launch in October.
Their company has been nominated for Outstanding Startup at the upcoming Hunter Manufacturing Awards.
