Sustainable Innovation in Italy: The Ohoskin Journey with Stefano Mazzetti
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Ethical Stitch, Michelle Alleyne sits down with Stefano Mazzetti, co founder of Ohoskin, to explore what happens when waste becomes material, not just for fashion, but for shoes, automotive interiors, furniture, and more.
From Sicilian orange byproducts to resilient cactus fibers, Stefano breaks down how Oskin is building a bio based alternative to leather designed to perform in the real world, not just sound good in a pitch deck. Together, they get into the unglamorous but essential work behind next gen materials: development timelines, quality control, traceability, and the operational systems that separate true sustainability from marketing.
This is a conversation about innovation with receipts, and what it really takes to bring a better material to market without losing the plot.
