Julie Kring is an artist, mountaineer, and founder of Khepra - a company with a mission to clean up the chemicals industry. As a biochemist with a lifelong vendetta against petroleum, she has created a novel electrified reactor for converting waste from farms, recycling centers, and forestry into valuable materials to replace traditional petroleum-based materials. Born and raised in Silicon Valley, she watched her father invent new technologies in the garage, and in the summers, they would backpack the Sierra Nevada together. Through these experiences, she learned the value of technology in solving climate change and has since devoted her life to restoring the Earth by creating circular economies for materials.
