Sustainable materials are starting to take a bite out of the share of single-use plastics in circulation, but replacing the full $600 billion plastics market is going to take more innovation and much more capital.

This week, we speak Brian Gordon, President and COO of Verde Bioresins and Jin-Goon Kim, Chairman and CEO of TLGY Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: TLGY). The two announced a $433 million combination in June.

Brian explains why he believes Verde is closer to scaling up a viable plastic replacement than many of its competitors, while Jin-Goon explains how TLGY designed this transaction to be accountable to private equity-style benchmarks and also be attractive to SPAC investors through the de-SPAC process.

Give it a listen
