We talk with two guests from the Wisconsin Energy Institute who founded a three-year-old startup aiming to produce a plant-based version of the chemicals used in things like paints and coatings that are currently made with petroleum products. We talk about the company’s success with creating an economical and sustainable product so far and what new investment money will allow them to do going forward.
