Gabrielle Lods has always had a passion for sustainability, and after reading the Four Hour Work Week, decided to start working on her own product. After a thorough analysis, she discovered a interesting opportunity that ticked all of her boxes - social impact, sustainability, location independent, etc - and Sustainabum, a sustainable diaper manufacturing venture, was born.She first started working on the company on the side in 2012, then took advantage of a convenient corporate restructuring and went full-time 1.5 years later. After 1 more year, she was able to live 100% from her company, and today Sustainabum ships globally and has replaced more than 270k disposable diapers, saving approximately 50tons of waste.
